Students were decked out in their pajamas for a pajama-themed dress-up day and brought nonperishable food items to the elementary school gym. They sang Christmas carols as they dropped their items off. In past years, students from all elementary classes gathered in the gym at the same time and sang Christmas songs together.

A laptop was set up at the end of the line, and students could wave to other students who were watching from their classrooms as the line went by, and all were singing along with the Christmas music. — The Holyoke Enterprise | Johnson Publications
