It’s the most wonderful time of the year! The long-awaited countdown to winter break is upon us. Every student knows the stress that comes during the few weeks between fall and winter break.

To mark the end of this time and to celebrate the break, Stroudsburg is holding the 16th annual Holiday Show. Shari Griswold is going to be organizing the show once again. She also had help from Sarah Cepin, who makes all the music tracks and videos. “ I look forward to the holiday show every year! It never disappoints! — Maddy Dullen, '25
