Santa and Alums Mingle; Children Make Crafts and Student Helpers Chip in
About 50 people, Harker Alumni, faculty and staff, joined Santa Claus in December for a pre-Christmas celebration. “Past and present Harker community came together for this,” said MaryEllis Deacon, director of alumni relations. Santa was played by Butch Keller, upper school dean of students and members of the Student Alumni Relations group (STAR) helped with the crafts. “We had alumni from the 80s and 90s join us with their children,” said Deacon. “The children worked on crafts included snow globes, reindeer prints and cards and, later, Santa read stories to the children. Our alumni had a great time seeing people they haven’t in years and shared a great morning together!”
