North Greenville Rotary Christmas
Christmas came December 2 for
32 kindergarten-3rd grade Frazee students. The students joined the North Greenville Rotary members at the Hyatt Regency downtown for a deluxe buffet dinner, hot chocolate and marshmallows, carol singing and a visit from Santa Claus. Each student was called up to receive their HUGE bag of goodies from Santa. There were squeals heard all over the room as students opened their gifts. Click here on our Facebook page to see pictures of all the fun! Thank you to the North Greenville Rotary and Michelle Moore for planning such a magical and memorable evening.

Frazee Preschool
The Frazee preschool students enjoyed a festive Christmas  celebration provided by members of the Margaret Aiesi Circle from First Baptist Church Greenville. After a wonderful snack and musical performance by the students (led by their director, Ethel Childress), the children were treated to a surprise visit from Santa. Santa gave each child a Christmas bag filled with treats and also opened a sandbox and other toys that the Circle had gifted the classroom. Click here to see pictures of all the excitement! Thank you to Andy Patterson for playing the jolly surprise Christmas visitor. (Ho! Ho! Ho!)
Also in December the preschool students enjoyed art exploration at Creating Artists for Tomorrow, bouncing around at Monkey Joe's and a Christmas Celebration with the Hillcrest High School students in  Georgia Lash's child development class. The students had so much fun at each special event.
We are grateful for all our wonderful Preschool volunteers and all our fun opportunities!
Preschool volunteers are always needed between the hours of 9 a.m.-12:00 p.m. Monday-Friday. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Alise Brown at alise@frazeecenter.com.

Thank You for a Great December!
The Frazee students and staff are grateful for all the visits, gifts, donations and experiences from numerous Upstate businesses, churches and community groups. Students had the opportunity to run in the Jingle Bell Jog, see the Nutcracker ballet, and make  gifts for their teachers. The Frazee students were able to meet new volunteers, eat great meals and enjoy new opportunities thanks to the community's generosity.
We are grateful to each member of our "Frazee Family!" |
