The annual Santa Claus Project, spearheaded by McMinnville’s Noon Rotary, took place on Friday, December 13. Six students from every elementary school in the district were chosen to participate in a holiday shopping trip for clothes, toys and gifts for their families.
Rotary, Chamber of Commerce and district staff volunteers helped each student with their shopping lists, including sizes for shoes and clothing, and assisted with keeping a running tally to stay within the $100 gift card that was provided by Rotary for each student.
The students were chosen by school staff and supervised during the outing by their principal or school counselor.
Thank you, Rotary!
