The pupils and teachers will gather in the lobby to thank PAL for its generous donation of toys, sing holiday songs and have photos taken with Santa. Participants from other Center programs will also attend.
The Giving Tree project, organized by Foundation and Service Coordination employees, assists Center students, adults and families who are in need during the holiday season by providing warm clothing, food, household goods, and a fun gift for each child.
Students who have disabilities or severe medical conditions are enrolled in the Langan School and Clover Patch Preschool, where special education teachers use technology, mobility equipment and innovative techniques to teach students academics and life skills.
