J. Fred Sparke Elementary students and their families recently participated in one of the school’s favorite holiday traditions -- the PTA’s Family Holiday Craft Night.  With the help of members of the Island Trees Memorial Middle School's National Junior Honor Society, the elementary students had a wonderful time creating crafts to decorate their homes for the holidays. The children were also able to visit Santa, give him their wish lists, and have Mom or Dad take their photo with him. Santa was so happy to be able to spend some time with the children. Many children purchased raffles and went home with wonderful prizes including a new bicycle, an i-pod shuffle, and many other terrific items.  The event was held in conjunction with the PTA’s Holiday Boutique, so the children and their families were also able to do holiday shopping.  The magical event added to the Sparke holiday spirit!
