WAITSBURG – The Waitsburg Elementary School multipurpose room was hopping before school last Friday, as students and families flocked in to enjoy cocoa, a photo, and a chat with Waitsburg's resident Santa.
For the last three years, the Waitsburg lunch ladies have taken it upon themselves to transform the lunchroom into a winter wonderland.
"We do this every year with a different theme," said food services manager Susan Wildey. "We usually start preparing and planning a year in advance. We love that it brings joy to the children. We feel that this time of year should be filled with wonder and happiness and that is not always the case in many homes. For some students, this will be the only Christmas they have."
This year, Wildey and assistant Bitsey Vawter were aided by Elanora Montgomery, Karen Huwe, and Bethan Wood in transforming the multipurpose room into Candyland. Prior themes have been Winter Wonderland and Polar Express.
It was clear by the joy on the faces of those present that the efforts brought a lot of joy.
