Santa meets Children's Center kids

HATTIESBURG, Miss. - USM’S Children's Center had its end of the year/Christmas celebration Thursday morning.

This was a chance for many kids and their families and friends to celebrate a great year. And, for the children to meet Santa Claus.

Children’s Center director, Sarah Case-Price said, "It's fun. Everyone wants to celebrate the holiday season. We have children with disabilities. Every child loves to see Santa. Some love him, some hate him, and then everything in between. So, we do a lot of coaxing. Every mom wants a picture with Santa. So, we do our best."

Price said Santa has been coming to the Children's Center every year for over a decade and she appreciates the community support.
