Holiday Magic at Grace Place: 2025 Tree Lighting
There is something truly special about watching our campus glow with holiday lights, laughter, and the joy of families coming together. This year’s Tree Lighting was one of those moments that reminded us why community matters so deeply.
As families stepped onto campus, the smell of hot cocoa, the sparkle of twinkling lights, and the sound of children’s excitement set the tone for a magical evening. Parents and children gathered around tables to create a festive craft together—a simple but meaningful moment where hands worked side by side and memories were made.
Sweet treats were shared, conversations flowed easily, and children beamed as they received a cuddly stuffed animal to take home. Seeing their faces light up with that unexpected surprise was a highlight that warmed the entire night.
And then—Santa arrived. The pure joy on the children’s faces as they ran to greet him was unforgettable. For many families, this visit was more than a holiday tradition; it was a moment of hope, delight, and togetherness during a busy season.
Events like this remind us that the heart of Grace Place is not just in our classrooms but in the connections we build and the joy we share. We are grateful to every family who joined us, to the volunteers who helped make this night possible, and to our community for believing in the power of gathering and lifting one another up.
