Holiday Craft Fair Returns to Northley Middle School

Holiday Craft Fair Returns to Northley Middle School

Northley Middle School was filled with holiday cheer during its 21st Annual Holiday Craft Fair, a beloved tradition that highlights student creativity and real-world learning.

Students proudly showcased their vocational, functional, social, and academic skills as they created and sold a variety of handmade items, including ornaments, gifts, and other festive decorations. Throughout the day, students took an active role in organizing the event and welcoming shoppers.

Visitors from across the district, including members of the 7th Grade Partnership and guests from Parkside Elementary, enjoyed browsing the students’ work and supporting their efforts. Adding to the festive atmosphere, Santa made a special appearance, spreading holiday cheer throughout the school.

The Holiday Craft Fair would not be possible without the dedication and support of Northley’s incredible staff. A special thank you to teachers Mrs. Kikut and Mrs. Roche, our paraprofessional team for their hands-on support and to Mr. Shivone, Mrs. Verna, and Mrs. Scharrer for once again helping transform Northley into Santa’s workshop.

Thank you to everyone who attended and supported our students. Your participation helped make this year’s Holiday Craft Fair another meaningful and memorable success.
