Manatee Academy K-8’s Annual Cookies with Santa

Last month, Manatee Academy K-8 held their annual Cookies for Santa Event. This festive gathering has become a cherished highlight for families, offering a variety of activities that captured the magic of the season. Children enjoyed making reindeer treats and decorating sparkling snowflakes, unleashing their creativity in the craft stations set up throughout the event. The school also featured their annual holiday shop, where kids could pick out and wrap gifts for their loved ones, adding an extra layer of excitement to the festivities. In the spirit of giving, families also brought toy donations for the Christmas 4 Kids organization, helping spread holiday cheer to children in need. The highlight of the event was a visit from Santa Claus himself, as children eagerly lined up for photos. With crafts, shopping, tasty treats, and a visit from Santa, the Cookies for Santa Event truly embodied the spirit of the season, bringing joy to all who attended.
