A huge and heartfelt thank you to Greg Anderson from our very own El Campo Post Office for personally delivering Santa’s letters to our Pre-K students. The joy on their faces was priceless as they realized Santa took the time to read and respond to each of their letters. This truly made their holiday season extra special!

Huge thank you to Santa for making a special stop at Hutchins Elementary today! Every single student at Hutchins got the chance to say hi, and our kids lit up like Christmas trees the moment he walked in. The joy he brought was the real deal.

We are grateful he took time out of his very full December schedule to remind our kids that the season is all about wonder, kindness, and a little sparkle of fun.

Thank you, Santa, for making today unforgettable for our Ricebirds. You made hundreds of little hearts a whole lot happier, and we appreciate you more than you know!
