Passing Kindness On, One Act at a Time

"SPREAD A LITTLE KINDNESS" CHRISTMAS PARTY
PRINCE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
DECEMBER 18, 2009

Our third annual Christmas party in partnership with Starbucks was held on December 18 for children in the Amphitheater School District. Staff in the district were asked to identify the neediest children who would not be receiving services for the holidays from any other organizations, and 265 children were invited along with their parents.

In addition to pizza, desserts, music, face painting, balloon art and visits with Santa, professional illusionists Sarlot & Eyed treated the families to a fun magic show. The children received gift packages, books, videos, new socks, toiletries and other items. We were also able to offer the families clothing, household goods and Christmas decorations thanks to generous donations.
