While Mrs. McEntire was away, the elves did decide to play… 🎁✨
The moment her office door clicked shut, tiny footsteps echoed down the hallway. Out popped the school elves—arms full of tape, bows, and every roll of wrapping paper they could find.
They worked at lightning speed, wrapping chairs like oversized presents, turning tables into festive surprises, and covering the floor wall-to-wall in holiday cheer. They even hung paper snowflakes from the ceiling, giggling as they floated down like a North Pole snowfall.
By the time the elves vanished back to their workshop, Mrs. McEntire’s office had been transformed into the ultimate gift, wrapped from corner to corner and bursting with Christmas magic.
When Mrs. McEntire returned the following Monday, she found quite the surprise.
Looks like the elves wanted to be sure Mrs. McEntire felt extra appreciated this holiday season!
