Dear all,

Our Secret Santa party between CDB and Terray was the perfect way to kick off the holiday break! The evening was full of laughter, festive music, and the excitement of exchanging gifts. Everyone brought their best game—thoughtful presents, creative surprises, and plenty of holiday cheer. With tasty snacks and a warm atmosphere, it was a celebration that truly brought both houses together.

We also had two special birthdays to celebrate! A big congratulations to Mana, who is stepping into teenage life and leaving childhood behind, and to the amazing Mr. Riccardo, whose dedication and positivity make such a difference every day. With cake, cheers, and heartfelt wishes, the night reminded us of what matters most to us here – each other.
