Making a Difference: Communities In Schools of Nevada
While Santa Claus is best known for delivering gifts around the world on Christmas Eve, the big guy took some time out this past December to join the annual Santa Tea event put on by Communities In Schools of Nevada at Simon Restaurant & Lounge at Palms Place.
More than 140 adults and children came out to support the organization, which raised more than $8,000 at the family affair. Kids participated in seasonal activities such as decorating gingerbread cookies, playing festive games and taking pictures with Santa himself. Adults weren’t neglected either as they were treated to specialty spritzers while mingling with family and friends. Executive Chef Kerry Simon was also on hand, dishing out some of his famous small plates. The little ones got to taste mini burgers and mac & cheese croquettes, while the adults sampled California rolls and margherita pizza. The tantalizing treats continued after dinner as the renowned holiday junk food platter of cookies, cupcakes and fudge made the rounds.
Thanks to the participation and support of some of Las Vegas’ most generous citizens and giving families, CISN is able to continue its mission to surround at-risk youth with a community of support that empowers them to stay in school and achieve everything they can in life.
