Like many things in 2020, holiday traditions put on by Southern Door and Sevastopol School Districts will have a different look. Both school districts have welcomed the area’s seniors for an afternoon of eating and holiday entertainment. Sevastopol tied their holiday meal to a concert by its bands and choirs. Southern Door allowed its students to dine with the seniors and share season’s greetings. In both cases, the events will not take place in its old form, but instead offering curbside pick-up instead. Southern Door High School Principal Steve Bousley says it was important to them that the tradition to continue.
Sevastopol’s holiday meal event is on December 15th and Southern Door’s is on December 16th. You can find more details on these two events below.
FROM SEVASTOPOL
Every year we look forward to the opportunity to host our senior members of the Sevastopol community for a luncheon and to enjoy our concerts. Because of the ongoing pandemic, our holiday concerts will not be performed in the traditional manner. This also means we will adjust how we can offer our accompanying meal. On Dec 15th, we would like to invite those members of the community who would have joined us for lunch to come to school and pick up a meal to take home with them. This meal will be ready to take home and reheat at your convenience and will be offered in a contactless, drive-thru manner to help us keep our senior visitors safe. We will be waiting at the front entrance of school, and as cars pull into the driveway, we will offer you a bag with your meal without the need to get out of the car. In an effort to create new memories of our holiday tradition, in addition to meals being handed out, there will be a choir singing Christmas Carols for you to enjoy as you drive-thru. We will be offering meal pick up from 1pm-2pm on Dec. 15th. Please call Sevastopol School 920-743-6282, extension 1117, and let us know if you plan on picking up a meal.
