With Santa At Kling
With Santa At Kling
Kling Elementary in Buena Vista hosted its annual Breakfast with Santa event Dec. 9. Children had the opportunity to write letters to and take pictures with Santa Claus, and both students and families enjoyed the breakfast provided. There was, though, at least one child who wasn’t thrilled with meeting Santa (see photo at left), who cried even after getting a warm hug from the jolly old elf.
