Be on the lookout for Sinterklaas and stop to take your photo with him.

At 2 pm in the Campbell-Christie House BCHS Trustee Ariel Woll will be giving a Hanukkah presentation. She will demonstrate how the menorah is lit and will explain more about the history, traditions, and customs of the holiday.
