Santa and Mrs. Claus visited three YMCA pre-schools in December along with a group of student and staff elves spreading cheer and letting parents know about the Pinellas County Job Corps Commuter Student Program. This program allows students to attend Job Corps during the day and return home each night with transportation provided along with the childcare stipend.

The trip included photos with Santa, lots of candy canes and hugs. In addition to the pre-schools, the merry crew visited the playground at the St. Petersburg pier along with a City recreation center. It was a cheery experience for all.
