Christmas gifts delivered to students in Hartselle By Madison Scarpino | December 17, 2020 at 8:14 PM CST - Updated December 17 at 8:17 PM
HARTSELLE, Ala. (WAFF) - Christmas came early for nearly 140 students at Sparkman School in Hartselle.
A local company, that wants to remain anonymous, donated more than $7,000 in personalized gifts.
Each gift was delivered by school staff to students’ doorsteps.
Sparkman School Principal Dr. Layne Dillard says she couldn’t pass up the opportunity to do something special for her students.
“We really pride ourselves in doing individualized things for our students. We’re small so we have that community feel that a lot of schools just can’t do because they’re not small enough to pull that off,” Dillard said.
