Harold B. Jarrett American Legion Post 342 and Auxiliary Unit held their annual Christmas party Tuesday for some of the students in the Rowan-Salisbury Schools’ Exceptional Children’s program.
The event, a project the groups have carried out every year since the 1970s, was held at the post home on Lincolnton Road.
Thirty-eight students from Koontz and Overton elementary schools and Erwin and Southeast middle schools were treated to the “Nutty Buddy Gang” Clown Show. They had lunch and a visit from Santa, who gave each child a gift and a treat bag.
Harry Garwood and Phyllis Richardson were in charge of the project.
