BEFORE THE MEETING STARTS ... Members of the North Central School Board discuss various topics minutes before their December meeting begins.
REINDEER GAMES ... Santa, Mrs. Claus, an elf and even two reindeer brought
Christmas cheer to the Pioneer American Legion Post 307 on Sunday, December 16.
For the donation of a non-perishable food item, children and their parents enjoyed
a free meal and visited with Santa afterwards. The food donations benefitted the
Montpelier Helping Hands Food Pantry. Here, Kallie Kindinger and Alain Duvendack
visit with Santas reindeer. With temperatures in the mid-50s, the reindeer look
like they are missing the cold, cold North Pole.
