About 100 students from the Head Start program of Buncombe and Madison counties were guests of honor at A-B Tech's 33rd Annual Children's Holiday party Dec. 5, including this young lady testing out her new big wheel tricycle.
A Head Start student enjoys his lunch at the Student Government Association-sponsored holiday party, a long-standing tradition at the College, providing toys for children who may not have other gifts during the holiday season.
Trying to remember what she wants to tell Santa, a Head Start student visits the jolly old elf himself as part of the holiday party where children, ages 3-5, ate lunch, received stuffed stockings, big wheel tricycles, and helmets purchased with donations from students, faculty, and staff.
Emergency Medical Services Student and Student Paramedic Association member Derrick Davis watches his young charge blow bubbles at the Annual Children's Holiday Party. Members of the Student Paramedic Association hold a fundraiser each year in order to sponsor at least 30 children for the party.
Tech Talk is published by the Communications Office for employees and friends of Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College.
