BATH — Hyde School will host its 18th annual Salvation Army Christmas Party on Saturday, Dec. 8.
Hyde students, faculty and staff will share their holiday spirit with approximately 20 families from the Bath area who have been invited.
The annual event was started in 1994 by former Hyde faculty member Quynn Taylor.
Hillary Kidwell, a Hyde faculty member and event coordinator, said, “I look forward to this event because it allows our students a chance to feel the sense of giving and connection that makes this season so special. Whether they act as hosts to a family, dress up as elves in silly costumes, or simply volunteer time to purchase and wrap gifts — all of them will be touched by the giving spirit.”
The event includes a visit from Santa arriving on a fire truck with his elves, a reading of “’Twas the Night Before Christmas,” music and a dinner by Hyde chef John Brawn.
