On the morning of Friday, December 3rd more than 6,000 children will come to school and find that their hallways have been decorated with gold tinsel. The students will find backpacks stuffed with books and toys on their desk and volunteers to read The Secrets of Saint Nicholas book. Volunteer readers will need to borrow a copy of the book from a student. Volunteers are encouraged to engage the students in a conversation about other ways they can show giving at school and home. You may also ask the teacher about reading another story of their choice. A live Saint Nicholas will also make his rounds visiting the children.
