Alumni Winter Wonderland event dazzles little ones

Santa’s Winter Wonderland took place in early December, with more than 170 alumni family members and preschool friends enjoying the revelry! The gathering was held in the decked-out Bucknall gym. Attendees enjoyed a delicious breakfast and festive music, followed by holiday crafts and cookie decorating, a bounce house and basketball game, and photos with Santa. Of course, everyone mingled, catching up with old friends and making new ones.

Special thanks to this year’s alumni Christmas committee, Jeff Rogers ’84 and Kristin Marlow Quintin ’84, for organizing set-up and clean-up of this successful event!
