HYDE SCHOOL hosted its 19th annual Christmas Party on Saturday, Dec. 14 in Bath. Students and faculty shared their holiday spirit with approximately 20 families from the Bath area who had been invited by representatives of the local Salvation Army. Above, senior Yidan “Diana” Huang from Shanghai helps out as an elf. At right, junior Aaron Leffert reads ”’Twas the Night Before Christmas” to guests. A holiday dinner prepared by Hyde Chef John Brawn and his staff was served. Hillary Kidwell, a Hyde faculty member who coordinated the event, 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.” This year Hyde students raised more than half of the money used to purchase individualized gifts for the children who attended the event. The annual event was started in 1994 by former Hyde faculty member and alumni parent Quynn Taylor.
