Yesterday, Santa and his elves made a special stop at Hartstern Elementary, spreading joy, cheer, and holiday magic for our families!
We are incredibly grateful to the Spirit Foundation Angel Tree Program for helping make this moment possible and ensuring our scholars and families felt the warmth of the season. Thank you for your generosity, kindness, and commitment to uplifting our community—this joy will be felt far beyond today.

This past Sunday we were incredibly grateful for the opportunity that Shop for Kids provided sponsoring our students, along with other JCPS schools to help make holiday shopping possible for so many families in our community.
A special thank you to our amazing Hartstern staff for volunteering their time and effort to make this event a success—it truly wouldn’t have been possible without you!
Being part of this effort was truly meaningful, and it’s inspiring to witness the spirit of generosity and community in action.
