USU Tooele Students Give a Gift for Christmas

The re-entry representative, Sherena Huntsman, and others came together during this season to give a gift to the community. USU Tooele students gave a free child care service for the night. Parents dropped their children off not really knowing what we had planned, but trusted that their children would enjoy all the surprises we had in store. The night went fantastic. All the children started the night off by coloring a few pictures until everyone arrived. Once all the children were present, we split the children into three groups so they could rotate to three different activities. One activity was making ornaments for the tree along with creating a winter scene with cotton balls and chalk. The second activity was decorating their own cookie with frosting and sprinkles. Also, using hand paint to build their own personal reindeer. The third activity was making a Santa Claus with a chain like beard. I enjoyed sitting with the kids enjoying some pizza, vegetables, and fruit for dinner. After dinner we got to do a little hall-way bowling and at the end of the night we all watched a Muppet Christmas movie while eating popcorn. In reality I thought we had a magnificent group of children and a brilliant night full of fun. I hope this is an activity we can do in years to come. I hope all the parents enjoyed their time. I want to thank all the students that volunteered their time to make this night successful.
