When we had the Fairy Princess at Nieman School

When we were first involved with Nieman at Christmas time, Santa came around to the classrooms and gave out treats. One year the School Board said "No Santa". I know Ray was not on the board then for he would never have voted against Santa. We had a lot of pretty mothers and we convinced one to be a Fairy Princess. She was lovely and went around the rooms giving out candy or cookies, whatever the room mothers had for their classroom. It was very successful but I think after that year we just let the room mothers give out candy. She had warned her own children not to recognize her and they liked being in on the plan.
