Michigan Carpenters, Millwrights Bring Christmas Cheer, Holiday Spirit to More than 600 Detroit School Kids

 

More than 600 schoolchildren at Spain Elementary School received a Christmas treat when Santa, the characters of Frozen, and dozens of carpenters and millwrights delivered gifts and a morning full of holiday cheer to the school in Detroit.

 

This is the 18th annual Christmas holiday party that the Michigan Regional Council of Carpenters and Millwrights has thrown for students at Charles L. Spain Elementary School, located at 3700 Beaubien.

 

"Carpenters and millwrights in Detroit and across Michigan have a strong tradition of giving back to our neighbors, and we want to show our appreciation for the students and teachers who have become true friends," said Mike Jackson, MRCC Executive Secretary-Treasurer. "At a time when schools across Michigan are facing tough times, students, teachers and staff at the Spain school and schools in many other communities are doing more with less, and we want them to know that carpenters and millwrights stand with them. They're our future and this holiday party is our way of saying thanks to them."

 

The event featured a range of fun activities for students and participants, including a live band that led the children in a carol sing-a-long; costumed characters - including Santa, Elsa, Anna, and Olaf; bags full of gifts; framed photos of children with Santa; and food and refreshments for the school children.

 

"For many years, carpenters and millwrights have been friends and mentors to our community at Spain Elementary-Middle School, supporting students, teachers and staff in so many different ways over the years," said Principal Ronald Alexander. "In many ways, they are a role model for our students and we are thankful to consider them our extended family. They are always there for us, and we are very happy to celebrate the holiday season with carpenters and millwrights."
