Griffin-Spalding Partners in Education (PIE) invites the community to a magical morning of holiday cheer as families are invited to Meet Santa. The event will take place on Saturday, December 14, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at First Baptist Church of Griffin’s Morgan Hall, located at 8th Street.
Admission is free! The event is sponsored by U-Save It Pharmacy and Claxton Hobbs Pharmacy. Guests are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items to be donated to the local community food bank. Donations will be accepted and used to fund field trip scholarships for students.
To ensure a visit with Santa, attendees should sign up in advance through Eventbrite at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/meet-santa-griffin-spalding-partners-in-education-tickets-1100941388329?aff=oddtdtcreator.
For a cash donation (minimum $5), children can explore Santa’s Workshop, where they’ll create reindeer food, write letters to Santa, color Christmas pictures and engage in other holiday crafts under the guidance of Santa’s cheerful elves.
We are collaborating with 4-H on a Winter Clothing Drive to help keep the homeless warm this season. This is an opportunity to support those in need. We will have donation boxes for items to be placed in. These may be new or gently used items. Thanks! #ColtsCan #LeadersHelpOthers
