[aisle] Holiday decorations/display

[Griswold, Fiona]

I'm doing something similar to Leanne this year. Instead of a Christmas
Tree, I'm putting up a "Communi-tree" with white lights and general
decorations in school colors. Then I'm going to invite students, staff and
student organizations to make or contribute an ornament to the tree that
reflects their culture or beliefs (or in the case of the student
organizations, their purpose). My hope is that the tree will represent the
entire school community and not focus on Christmas or any other specific
December holiday. We will see how it goes!
