St. Francis Xavier students share the true meaning of the Christmas spirit

KEARNS — On Dec. 10 and 11, Saint Francis Xavier School held the 2nd Annual Christmas Store for all of the students to come and pick out a gift for their family members.

Each student was given an envelope to list family members for whom they wished to find a gift. All the classes took turns visiting the Christmas Store to hand select personal gifts for the names on their list.

After selecting gifts they also were able to wrap each gift and personalize it with a name tag. >>>
