NEWS IN A NUTSHELL
The holiday season was a merry one for
Blue Diamond
.
Team members at the Sacramento campus brought
smiles, laughs and cheer to local school children. For
over 17 years, the cooperative has partnered with
the city’s school district to bring Christmas fun to
preschoolers — giving back to a community that has
been home for 107 years.
Blue Diamond Growers
hosted several holiday events
for the preschoolers, which took place over two days
in December and included a Santa’s Workshop and gift
delivery. Team members transformed the campus into
the North Pole where the children experienced magical
Christmas fun with cookie decorating, crafts, games and
photos with Santa.
The following day, Santa and his elves delivered
wrapped gifts for each child and, for the first time
during the Santa’s Workshop event, the doors of the
Blue Diamond
theater opened to all children at the
school. The 200-seat theater was filled K–6th graders
dressed in their pajamas to watch showings of the
movie
Polar Express
.
Santa’s Workshop Brings Holiday Fun to Local Children
Santa’s gifts are donated and wrapped by
Blue Diamond
team members and funds are raised through a raffle
during the month of December. The cooperative’s
generosity to the community was recognized by
the school district and noted that
Blue Diamond’s
engagement demonstrates a commitment to the success
of students.
