Christmas wishes
Special visitors at Manitouwadge Nursery School
by Karina Hunter
Pictured are students from the Manitouwadge Nursery School welcoming Santa and Mrs. Claus at their Christmas Party. The children enjoyed a very special morning as many parents joined them for Circle Tim, enjoying as their little ones performed the songs and poems they had learned during the month of December. One by one, the children hopped onto Santa’s lap to tell him of their Christmas wishes, he encouraged them to make a wish with his special Christmas Bells which they clutched in tiny hands, squeezing their eyes tightly shut to make their wishes. Santa and Mrs. Claus also gave each of the children a bag of magical reindeer food, strangely resembling oats and glitter, for them to sprinkle on their lawns Christmas Eve as well as a Christmas book, provided by their teachers, Tanya Lalonde and Shannon Martin.
