The first day of winter brought Santa Claus to Frank Elementary School, prompting much laughter and a few tears from grateful students and staff.
The event was a joint community effort led by Walgreens and Rust-Oleum, 408 kids received wrapped gifts and 10 adopted families will have a merrier Christmas.
Presiding over the Wednesday festivities was the Jolly Old Elf himself, enthusiastically portrayed by Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department Lt. Robert Croeker, who handed out presents and led joyous cheers of “Merry Christmas!” in unison with the children. A shake of his sleigh bells even allowed the kids to “hear” his reindeer stomping on the roof of the school.
