A magical surprise – elves bring new shoes to Adelaide Elementary kindergarteners

By Becky Ginos

BOUNTIFUL—Kindergarteners at Adelaide Elementary School were surprised when they came into their classroom and found wrapped gifts waiting for them on their desks. The children first listened to the book “Elves and the Shoemaker” in the library then went on a scavenger hunt to find the packages. The kids wasted no time ripping up the paper to find a new pair of shoes.
