’Twas VISIT WITH

SANTA

Santa Claus & his elves visit CJA!
the night of St. Nick’s Day,
when down Gravois Road
Santa’s sleigh needed fixing,
to get him on home
He pushed with his reindeer,
til he saw a light
The Sisters were prepping for
a cold winter’s night
Santa knocked on the door,
and Cori gave him a yelp
But of course the CJ Sisters
were happy to help
They placed a quick phone
call to Tom and Matt
Who sprang to the scene with
their tools, it was stat!
The sleigh was fixed and
Santa was all set to go
But he was so grateful and KINDNESS
wanted them to know
So he called on his elves to
make their way to CJA
And they set up the North Pole
in a very special way
The Auditorium was filled with
Christmas crafts and games
And Santa welcomed every
parent and child by name
Joyful Christmas music made
its way down the halls
While children were
dancing, singing and
throwing snowballs
Thank you to the following
Mrs. Claus even came, serving alumnae for helping us create
warm cookies to each guest
such a special day for our Christmas cheer
December 7 at CJ became a community!
