Families packed into Riverside Elementary Friday evening for the school’s annual Winter Wonderland, filling the hallways with music, color and excitement.
Students and parents moved from room to room, stopping for photos with Santa, crafts, bingo and a festive chorus performance in the cafeteria. Mrs. Claus hosted story time for younger children, while student vendors sold handmade items that many carried home as souvenirs.
