The Mid-Prairie School District has been a secret Santa to over 200 healthcare workers this holiday season with their “Fill the Bus” program.
District Transportation Director Teresa Hartley says the campaign took donations of gift cards, flowers, plants, snack items, coffee cups, gift bags, socks and other items to say “thank you” to those on the frontlines in the battle against COVID-19, “This year with the pandemic we knew that healthcare workers were being stretched so thin and having to work, being away from their families all the time. Just giving (them) that little bit of something brings joy to them and that’s what we’re looking for.”
