Santa visits St. Theresa School
Sunday, December 5th marked the day that St. Theresa School kicked off the holiday spirit by hosting its first annual Pictures with Santa. The event was well attended by approximately 110 children and family members. The laughter of surprise rang down the halls when the children saw Santa, and volunteer elves and other festive helpers gave out bags of holiday candy. Along with meeting Santa, the families of STS spread joy to the local community by donating over 400 food items to the St. Theresa Church Food Pantry. Approximately 50 extra bags of holiday candy were donated to Bernice’s Place, a loving shelter in Elizabeth, NJ for children in need.
The idea to combine a photo opportunity and donate food items came from Megan Malone, Secretary of the STS Home School Association, and STS parent, who brought the school together to celebrate in a safe and friendly environment.
