Little Cookie Monster

Little Sienna Naginey Ewing looks awfully fond of the cookie that her mom, Hannah Ewing, Upper School History teacher appears to be enjoying. Unfortunately for little Ewing, it’s a bit difficult to enjoy these tasty treats without a full set of teeth to chomp down with. Which is a shame because the Holidays Around the World table at Family Fun Night on Dec. 6 sure did have quite a few tantalising treats. Some of the desserts included Afghan biscuits, a New Zealand specialty, Ewing’s delightfully delicious mince pies from the UK, and the crowd pleaser, Izzy Snyder’s ‘26 and Anna Ciccozzi’s ‘26 Yule Log from France. The elder Ewing told me that her favorite part of the experience was “getting to know you guys (the students helping out with the table) more and seeing you all celebrate the parts of the world that you all have a connection with.”Anneliese Schlachter, Upper School Administrative Assistant, brought Emma ‘37 and Sadie ‘39 to Family Fun Night and said,“The kids loved it, I loved it. It was just so much fun.” Schlachter continued, “I loved the idea[of the treat table]and I loved the mince pies.” Don’t worry baby Ewing, considering how merrymaking Family Fun Night was, North Cross will probably be keeping it around for many years to come. Meaning everyone will get to enjoy some mouthwatering around-the-world treats in the future holiday seasons.
