The students sang a variety of holiday songs. The residents thanked the students with hot chocolate, cookies, and treat bags.

Additionally, the Student Council held the 13th Annual Senior Citizen Holiday Luncheon on December 17. Folks who attended the event included senior citizens active at the Acres Homes Multi-Purpose Center, retired teacher Joyce Murray from Caraway Intermediate School and Gladys Allen, mother to the Hill Intermediate School’s nurse. Student Council members served holiday meals, which included turkey and dressing, to more than 50 guests. The staff members at the campus provided desserts for everyone to enjoy.

After their meal, the seniors enjoyed some holiday music and carols performed by the Student Council members.

“Student Council members get the true meaning of giving during this time of year,” said Roethler. “This gives them an opportunity to visit with the special guests. It has become an event that I and the students look forward to every year.”
