JMG Students Raise Over $11,000 to Deliver Holiday Joy Through Santa’s Helpers Project
For the 25th year, JMG students are bringing warmth and holiday joy to families in their community
through the Santa’s Helpers Project.
JMG students from Carrabec High School, Madison High School, Skowhegan Area High School, and
Skowhegan Area Middle School have worked together since early November to raise $11,402. Their
fundraising efforts will help purchase gifts and other holiday items for local families, continuing a
meaningful tradition of service and community partnership.
On Friday, December 12, students will go on a festive shopping spree at Walmart in Skowhegan
before heading to the Skowhegan Armory to wrap the gifts and prepare them for distribution.
Event Details
• Date: Friday, December 12
• Shopping Location: 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., Walmart, 60 Fairgrounds Mkt Pl., Skowhegan
• Gift Wrapping Location: 11 a.m. to 12 p.m., Skowhegan Armory, 11 North School St.
The Santa’s Helpers Project is made possible by the dedication and hard work of our JMG students
and the community’s generosity. Walmart is donating stocking stuffers, and the Army National Guard
is once again opening its doors to students as they wrap gifts and celebrate their collective impact.
