For their holiday party, the children in Mrs. Eberhardt and Mrs. West’s classes brought in gifts for a local family that has several adopted children, many of whom receive services from Watkinsville-based non-profit, Extra Special People.
These two classes were able to provide toys for 12 children from the ages of 2 – 16 – years - old.
