he Millbrook Times

North Cavan Public School Families chose to celebrate the season at the CMCC last month. For several hours during the evening of December 5th, they took over the facility with a wide variety of activities organized by the parents of their local School Council. These students embraced the event, choosing their own unique Christmas wardrobes and accessories to reflect their festive spirit.
