The holidays were in full swing at ACI! We jammed out, danced, and sang along to the Holiday Express virtual performance. We had fun competing against each other in the holiday games like Pin the Face on the Elf, Jingle Bell Toss, and Holiday Emoji Trivia. Participants also flexed their creativity in making decorative holiday candy holders. The celebration was highlighted by a special guest Santa! Thank you to all who participated and helped make the last few days wonderful!
