On December 21, 2024, LumenSparQ had the privilege of participating in the St. Margaret’s Center Christmas Program at Lennox Middle School. This heartwarming gathering brought together over 500 families for a day of joy, connection, and holiday cheer.
A Magical Day for Families
Families were greeted at the event with a special photo opportunity with Santa Claus, setting the festive tone for the day. While parents then turned their attention to wrapping custom gifts for their children—generously provided through community donations—the little ones were whisked away to a world of creativity and play.
In the children’s play area, each child was paired with a volunteer buddy to explore an array of exciting activities:
• Face painting, nail painting, and ornament decoration for the artists.
• Sticker making, reindeer ear hat crafting, and LEGO building for the creators.
• A coloring area and maker space for imaginative play.
• A lively gymnasium with a DJ, games, and dancing, complete with gifts for every child.
To close the experience, families reunited to share a meal in the cafeteria, basking in the joy of the day together.
LumenSparQ’s Role
LumenSparQ volunteers dedicated their efforts to supervising the children’s play area, ensuring that every activity ran smoothly and that the children had an unforgettable experience. Our team also served as welcoming hosts, greeting families with warmth and helping parents transition into their gift-wrapping sessions.
While St. Margaret’s Center volunteers and Lennox Middle School staff were the main driving forces behind this incredible event, we were honored to lend our hands and hearts to the festivities.
