🎄 Spreading Holiday Cheer in Waynesboro! 🎄 On Friday, December 20th, the Waynesboro Police Department, the Waynesboro Sheriff's Office, the Waynesboro Police Foundation, and Waynesboro Public Schools came together to create a special holiday event for Kate Collins Middle School and Waynesboro High School students. The students enjoyed a magical day of shopping at Target for their family members and themselves, supported by dedicated chaperones and volunteers. Afterward, they headed back to Kate Collins to wrap their gifts and prepare for the holiday season. Meanwhile, the families of our middle schoolers gathered for a warm and festive luncheon, complete with a holiday meal and clothing for all the children in the family. This incredible partnership reflects the true spirit of giving and the power of community. Thank you to everyone who made this event so memorable!
