Lest old aquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind, we’ll take a cup of tidings here for old lang syne.

Last Friday we were honored to hold a Christmas Party for the Pre-Kindergarten classes from the La Porte Elementary School. When the children and teachers arrived they were greeted by Mrs. Claus who read “T’was the night before Christmas” to the children. As she was finishing up her story we were all happily surprised by the appearance of Santa himself! After listening to all of their Christmas wishes and giving everyone their very own present, Santa and Mrs. Claus took a picture with the children in front of the tree that they had made decorations for. After Santa left, for he has many children to visit this season, everyone else went into the conference room to have milk and cookies before leaving.
