One of the favorite Holiday Traditions at East Meadows is the paper craft of stained glass.  Years ago Mrs. Laree Liddiard, a retired elementary school teacher, created these creations.  She created paper patterns of angels, stockings, wreaths, lanterns and other Christmas designs.  These patterns are traced and cut out by the teachers and parents.  The students then carefully add tissue paper to finish and the make the deisgn their own creation.  The decorations will be placed in the windows at the front of the school for all to enjoy.
