From snowflakes falling to Santa arriving in style on Jupiter Fire Department's special "sleigh," Friday was absolutely unforgettable! Our hearts are full seeing the pure joy on our students' faces during the holiday festivities. 🎅🚒
The snowball fun, delicious treats, and Shop-a-thon finale created precious memories our families will cherish forever. These moments remind us that every child deserves to experience the magic of the holiday season! 🎁
An extra special thank you to Calvary Church for going above and beyond to make these incredible celebrations possible. And to all our amazing volunteers and donors - your generosity and dedication brought so much happiness to our community! 💝

We have so much to be thankful for! The students had an outstanding week celebrating joy and gratitude. They were able to pick out gifts for their family and loved ones and it brought them pride. A huge shout out to Cavalry Church for making our holiday shopathon extra special this year.
♥️We will be sharing more pictures and videos in the coming days, but we want you to see how happy our students were to meet Santa and Mrs. Claus who were brought to the center by the Jupiter Fire Department! ♥️🎄💚🚒
The beauty of the holidays continued at the Edna W. Runner Tutorial Center yesterday. With holiday songs and lots of cheer, a cadre of elves came in to wrap the shopathon gifts so that the students could bring them home to share with their families for the holidays. Every student at the center will experience the joy of picking out and giving special gifts for their loved ones. Thank you to everyone who made that possible. 🎁🎶💚♥️😁
The students also received special gifts from our friends at Jonathan‘s Landing. We thank JL Cares for always remembering to bring joy to our young students at the center.

Today, our beloved Holiday Shop-A-Thon tradition allowed our students to experience the true joy of giving. These amazing students work hard all year to earn the chance to personally select special gifts for their families and teachers. The pride and excitement in their eyes as they carefully choose each present is absolutely priceless! ✨
Seeing our community unite to support our families and neighbors warms our hearts. This is what the holiday spirit is all about! ❤️
Special thanks to our incredible holiday elves, our dear volunteers, Ms. Missy and Ms. Debora, for creating this magical wonderland and shopping experience. We also thank all our donors, volunteers, and especially our amazing friends from Calvary Church for making this opportunity possible. Together, we're making a difference, one holiday at a time! 🙏
