Smiles, laughter and carols filled the building Dec. 19 when Rudolph successfully made the journey to Sheckler to bring Santa for a visit with the students and staff.

Santa brought them each a gift of a Sheckler water bottle. Many thanks to Santa for always making this day so special!

Thanks also go to Mrs. Claus and the Home and School elves for all they do to make this Sheckler tradition continue.

Classrooms celebrated with festive holiday parties.
