12-17-23  Cooke                       Santa Party

What a wonderful way to head into the Christmas season. Celebrating the “Reason for the Season” with our “Cooke School Family”! As usual, several members of our Caravan braved the cold weather and warmly greeted the arriving staff and then students. I was told by several staff members that this small gesture of greeting them upon arrival has turned into one of their favorite parts of the day! After greeting, we all went inside to help make the day memorable. Helping in the “Bell Room”, assisting staff move students from classrooms to visit Santa, get cookies and popcorn throughout the hallways, helping at the facepainting stations or helping serve lunch in the beautifully decorated gym. Whatever was needed we were happy to help with. God Bless our Manresa volunteers as well as the other volunteer organizations that joined in. Contributing photographer- John Michniak
