We’re making a list, and checking it twice… but this list isn’t for the great new pair of boots or the new iPhone we want. This list is a list of all the reasons we love spending the holiday season with our ESP family! Some of my fondest holiday memories involve spending time with my family at our community’s annual holiday brunch, especially at the make your own ice cream sundae table! This time spent with my family and the memories associated with it is something I will always cherish, and the ESP holiday dinner offers an opportunity to share the holidays with not only with your immediate family, but with our ESP family!
There are so many reasons that spending the holiday season with our ESP family is the best! Our list of reasons is never ending, but here are just a few; supporting our 360 participants hard work at the recital, welcoming new families into the ESP family, decorating gingerbread houses with friends and celebrating the success of this year at ESP and in our personal lives! There is so much to be thankful for this 
year and there is no greater way to give thanks than by celebrating with our ESP family!
Mark your calendars for December 13th at the Oconee Civic Center for our Recital and Holiday Dinner! This year’s Holiday Dinner will kick off at 3pm with the 360 Recital where all of our participants can show off all of their hard work from this semester’s 360 classes. We encourage everyone to come out to the recital to support our incredible participants and learn about our plans for Spring 360 and the spring semester!
Following the recital we will host our annual holiday dinner right across the hall! The holiday dinner is a great chance for everyone to get together as family and friends for one last time before the busy holiday break! We will enjoy dancing, lots of food, Gingerbread house decorating and much more! The dinner will last from 5:30-8:30pm and will be potluck style with entrees provided. Families with the last names A-S are asked to bring sides, and families with T-Z are asked to bring desserts!
We hope that everyone can bring their family out for this incredible event. With the chaos of the holidays, there are few opportunities to spend time enjoying the company of family and friends while supporting all of our amazing 360 participants. This event is a perfect last “hooray” to a terrific year at ESP! Through all of my holiday traditions, spending time with family is by far my favorite. But this year, I am especially excited to spend the holidays with the new extension of my family: the ESP Family!
