Each year the Parents Association at the American School of Monterrey decorates a big Christmas tree that sets the stage for all of the Christmas presentations during the month of December. The tree is huge and takes almost a week to decorate.  This year the Parents Association took a different take on the tree decorating. They decided that they wanted the tree to represent Character Counts! So not only does the school have ONE BIG tree, but they have a tree decorated for each pillar as well!

The third grade students and their moms helped create the ornaments that went on each tree and the Parent Association decorated, decorated, and decorated in order to finish up the trees. At the Christmas Tree lighting ceremony, the trees lighted up and the message was, "Haz una Feliz Navidad" ...."MAKE a MERRY CHRISTMAS."
