Submitted by trisha.olsen on

If you came to East Meadows on Tuesday, the 18th of December you probably wondered about the teacher’s sense of style. Many of the teachers and staff wore very festive holiday sweaters to school that day. The wearing of ugly sweaters has become a fun tradition at various work places, parties, school activities, etc. over the past few years. So don’t ever throw away those coveted pieces of clothing. So who won the ugly sweater contest?
