The students in attendance were then challenged to create their own well-organized stories with a similar chain of events, building off the title “If You Give a Puppy Pumpkin Pie.” AOA Closed Christmas Eve and Christmas Day Alpha Omega Academy will be closed December 24 and 25 for the Christmas holiday.
