JSerra Catholic High School students know the cold truth about how much fun a snow day can be, so they fundraised and helped arrange for a snow storm at a school in Costa Mesa.
On Tuesday, St. John the Baptist Catholic School students threw snowballs and sledded down mounds of snow. Several JSerra students watched the fun from the side, they had their own snow day, an annual tradition on campus, last week. The JSerra students also helped with the activities, including serving the all-important treats such as snow cones, hot chocolate, cookies and popcorn.
Along with fundraising for the extra snow day, the JSerra students also put together boxes of gifts, food and other supplies for 82 military families from the Twentynine Palms Marine Base as part of the school’s Operation Christmas Love initiative.
