Breakfast with Santa

On Dec. 20th 15 Central Cambria Interact Club Students met at Jackson Elementary to volunteer at the annual "Breakfast with Santa". The club members were given the opportunity to work with students in their classrooms as they made Christmas crafts and decorations for the holiday season. Christmas is a wonderful time of the year, but it becomes very meaningful when we have the opportunity to be reminded from our youth what truly is important.

The Central Cambria Interact Club members had a fundraiser earlier this year where they raised approximately $4500. The student organization were able to make several donations to families who were in need for the Christmas Holiday. We are reminded constantly around Christmas what having the opportunity to share and give actually means. The Interact Club are the elves who make people happy. The silent helpers who are never seen during this festive season. The toy-makers if you will, who need not a thank you for their good deeds, but instead the understanding that they have made a difference, and there are people who have benefitted from their efforts. Spending time with children is an extremely valuable lesson which helps us grow and mature. The 15 volunteers were graciously given this opportunity from the Central Cambria Administration. They would like to thank Mrs. Murin and Mrs. McDermott for alllowing them to participate in the Breakfast with Santa program at Jackson Elementary.
