4 Friday, December 20, 2024 brooklintowncrier.com On December 13, St. Leo Catholic School opened its doors to family and friends for an exciting Christmas open house. Students and families engaged in Christmas concert performances and festive crafts. During the holiday season, students and staff at St. Leo Catholic School are committed to providing hope, peace, joy, and love throughout the community. To this end, each open house attendee was asked to bring a canned good as admission, and the donations were sent to Durham Outlook for the Needy to help support families during the Christmas season. The school community was excited to share their Christmas spirit with friends and loved ones this year and they look forward to sharing the spirit of the season next year.
