The Holiday Window Showcase was a festive and inspiring celebration of student creativity, highlighting the exceptional work of the Senior Visual Presentation students in Mr. Christopher Paquet’s class. This year’s display featured a whimsical Polar Express theme brought to life through intricate gingerbread-inspired designs, transforming the school’s front windows into a magical holiday experience. The showcase, held Tuesday evening, drew admiration from the school community and guests alike, serving as a powerful demonstration of the students’ technical skill, imagination, and attention to detail.
A key component of the project’s success was the ongoing collaboration with Advisory Board member Jack Bergamino, who has worked closely with Visual Presentation students for the past six years. Through his continued mentorship, Jack provided students with real-world industry insight, professional feedback, and guidance on translating conceptual ideas into polished visual displays. This long-standing partnership has helped bridge classroom learning with industry expectations, empowering students to approach their work with confidence and professionalism.
The Holiday Window Event was more than a seasonal celebration—it was a testament to the impact of sustained mentorship, collaboration, and hands-on learning. The students’ ability to execute a cohesive, immersive theme reflected both their growth as designers and the strength of the program. Congratulations to Mr. Paquet and his Senior Visual Presentation students on an incredible showcase that celebrated creativity, collaboration, and the magic of the holiday season.
