It’s time to sprinkle a little extra holiday magic around Rapid Valley! 🎄✨
Next week we’re kicking off our Christmas Dress-Up Days, and we cannot WAIT to see our Wildcats show off their festive spirit!

💚 Dec 15 – Santa’s Squad
Elves, reindeer, or Wildcat spirit… bring the cheer!

❤️ Dec 16 – Grinch Day
You can be a little merry or a little Grinchy—we support both vibes.

✨ Dec 17 – Tinsel & Twinkle Wear
Shine bright like the hallway Christmas lights that may or may not stay plugged in.

🎁 Dec 18 – Present Day
Wrap yourself up—literally or figuratively. We love a walking gift.

🛌 Dec 19 – Pajama Day
The ultimate gift to all of us: not having to pick an outfit.

Let’s have some fun and end the year with ALL the festive feels! 💫
Can’t wait to see everyone dressed up! 🎅🦌🎄💚❤️
