ANNUAL HOLIDAY PARTY

This past Wednesday, the Rockaway Rotary Club held its annual Children’s Holiday Party

at The Exchange in Rockaway Borough. Children from Little Learner Academy were among the guests of the club. Holiday musical entertainment was provided by the students from Little Learner and the Copeland Middle School Chorale in Rockaway Township. A special appearance by the jolly old man in the red suit bearing gifts for the students was enjoyed by both young and old. Thank you to PE Denise Nickel for all

her work organizing this luncheon.
