The annual Holiday Party organized by the Silver Lake Middle School Student Council and SMAD club is a cherished tradition that brings joy and gratitude to students from both schools (The Silver Lake Middle School and the Head Start Preschool). The event is held in collaboration with the Head Start preschool program in Marshfield. Each year, the Student Council and SMAD club collect more than a hundred gifts to distribute to the children at Head Start.
During the Holiday Party, Santa and his helpers make a special appearance, adding to the excitement and magic of the event. They distribute the gifts to the preschoolers and engage them in holiday songs, arts and crafts, and games. The presence of Santa and the opportunity to receive gifts create a memorable experience for the children.
The event holds great significance beyond the festivities. It serves as a community service initiative that showcases the love and support that the students and their parents have for their local community. By organizing the Head Start Holiday Party, the Student Council and SMAD club provide their peers with an opportunity to experience the true meaning of the holidays.
Participating in community service activities like this helps the students learn the value of giving back and reinforces the importance of empathy in our society. The event instills in them a sense of charity and strengthens their belief in the power of helping others. It also fosters a spirit of togetherness and unity among the students, as they come together to make a positive impact on their community.
The Head Start Holiday Party has become a tradition that the students eagerly anticipate each year. It brings joy and happiness to the preschoolers at Head Start, while also leaving a lasting impression on the participants from Silver Lake Middle School. This event exemplifies the spirit of holiday giving and serves as a testament to the compassion and generosity of the Student council, SMAD club, and the entire Silver Lake Middle School Community.
