Thomaston Grammar School Cookies with Santa
Thomaston Grammar School held its annual Cookies with Santa event on Saturday, December 13. The event was put on by the Friends and Family of TGS group.
We had a great turnout for this fun event. This year it was free for all TGS students and their siblings to shop for 5 gifts for family and friends. We had some volunteer shoppers who took students shopping so the gifts could remain a surprise to family members. In addition to students shopping and getting their gifts wrapped, students and their families got to meet and have their photo taken with Santa at the photo booth run by Principal Riley and were able to enjoy some cookies and cocoa/coffee.
Raffle tickets were also sold at the event, to fund future events, with some great prizes including a bird house from the Prison Showroom, a one night stay at the Hampton Inn in Thomaston, a two night stay at Rockland Harbor Hotel in Rockland, R&D Trash Pick-up Services for 3 months and 6 months, a holiday wreath, a tote bag and zipper pouch made by Carrie Brezzo, and custom artwork by Greta Van Campen. We also had support from Green Leaf Roofing and the town of Thomaston.
We are so lucky to have such generous organizations in our community. We had an amazing group of volunteers including: parents and other family members, community members, and OHS students.
What a marvelous event it was!
