The Best School Christmas Float Ever Robin St Taw

Failure is expected when a group of eight, mixed-education level, middle and high school students, including a transgender girl and the school's most trouble-making special education student, are voted by their peers to build the school's Christmas float over a three-day period following their school's holiday pep rally before Christmas Break. The town's big Christmas Parade is only four days away, and time is short. The float's theme is diversity, and the students elected to build the float are as diverse as their ideas in construction and design. A surprise visit by Santa's representatives finds the group flying to the North Pole in a magical flying truck, meeting Santa, and helping him educate new elves as the big deadline approaches. Lessons in leadership, diversity, inclusion, and learning to reject negative comments help the team achieve their goal despite unexpected setbacks.
