Youth at the Boys & Girls Club of Greeneville and Greene County had the opportunity to tell Santa Claus what they want for Christmas, at top left, and create an ornament during a recent Christmas party at the club hosted by the Tusculum College Bonner Leaders.
The Christmas Party was organized and coordinated by two of the Bonner Leaders, Megan Dubois and Morgan Hillard, and the remainder of the students helped volunteer at the different stations set up for the children.
In one station, the children decorated cookies; at another they could have their face painted; one station offered the opportunity to “pin the star on the Christmas tree,” and another to take part in a spirited game of “Musical Chairs” in addition to the visit with Santa and ornament decoration. Designed for students with an interest in service, the Bonner Leader program provides leadership training, a tuition grant and a channel for students to serve in the community through a partnership with the Bonner Foundation.
