Serving up a Holiday Breakfast for Hess Street School Students and Staff....an annual tradition of over 20 years has returned! On the morning of December 21, Rotary Club of Hamilton AM members, family, Rotaractors and friends filled the Hess Street School gym with pancake cooking teams and an assembly line preparing goodie bags for each student in the school. It started with a heartfelt welcome and greetings from our new Hamilton Mayor, Andrea Horwath and Hamilton AM Rotary Club President Clare Freeman.Meanwhile, others were setting a place for each child to enjoy a hot breakfast and runners took fresh pancakes with syrup to each classroom. While enjoying the treats, the students were excited to meet Santa and his "singing elf" Minstrels. Also joining in the fun was Stripes, the Hamilton Ti-Cat Mascot and Bruiser from the Bulldogs Hockey Team. At times, it was hard to determine who was more popular - for some this was their first introduction to Santa!
Along with a goodie bag of treats, each child received a new plush toy courtesy of the Salvation Army and a new book courtesy of Hamilton Public Library and First Book Canada.
Pictured are the placemats made by the students in appreciation of the Holiday Breakfast fun and food!
