More than 100 families received turkeys and essential food items to ensure they are supported throughout the winter break. The magic of the season was in full swing as children met Santa and his Elf for photos and went home with brand-new toys. A huge thank you to our local barbers who generously provided free haircuts, and to everyone who participated in our "gently used" clothing shop. It was a day of dignity, celebration, and community spirit. 

Our NECSD Annual Holiday Bazaar was a heartwarming success! Organized by the Office of the McKinney-Vento Liaison and the Family and Community Engagement Team, the NFA North Campus was transformed into a hub of holiday cheer for the event.

We are thankful to the faculty, staff, and students who worked the event, alongside a host of volunteers.
