Room Mothers and More Christmas Gift Surprises for Students

Christmas continued on Agriculture Street as the GSS Room Mothers prepared activities and treats for each class.  Some students decorated cupcakes, others built gingerbread houses, and others colored Christmas pages and made stained glass.  At the end of the day, students were given Christmas backpacks organized by Ms. Laurie Pierce Martin and family, and generously donated by the Martin family, Retif Oil & Fuep, St. George Episcopal School, and many members of the community.  Thank you to the many donors who generously shopped for the GSS students this Christmas Season and thank you to our Room Moms who again brought the Christmas season to life!

In this Nativity model, students are enrolled without regard to race, color, religion, or ethnicity.
