2023 Booker T. Angels 

The spirit of the holiday season was in full effect on Monday, December 18, as volunteers from the PTSA, Student Council, Dance, Music, Theatre, and Visual Arts Guilds worked together to create a special holiday experience for the Booker T. Angel families. There was much to prepare to host our five Angel families, and we couldn't have done it without the generous support and help of our amazing Booker T. families. We collected wishlists, asked for donations, wrapped gifts, hauled the gifts from Booker T. to H.I. Holland Elementary School, and decorated classrooms per 'Angel' family. 

All thirty family members were overjoyed entering the classrooms decorated with inflatables and gifts just for them. The student council were great hosts, welcoming the families, crafting, decorating sugar cookies, and playing games with the kids. After a pizza dinner provided by the PTSA, the kids were ecstatic to see and talk to Santa Claus, aka Patrick McGhee, our Booker T. Language and Literature faculty member. 

The families were excited and so grateful for the generosity of our Booker T. faculty and families. Everyone left the elementary school feeling merry and bright! Thank you to everyone who supported the annual program of giving back to the community with donations and volunteering. Scroll through the photos below to see how your support provided this meaningful experience.
