The Special Education classes from East and West high schools were treated to brunch at Golden Corral Tuesday by the Saint Patrick Catholic Church Knights of Columbus.
The Special Education classes from East and West high schools got to gather Tuesday morning to celebrate the season.
Golden Corral of Morristown hosted the classes, their instructors and the Saint Patrick Catholic Church Knights of Columbus for a brunch and a time of fellowship. Judging by the crowd, the smiling faces and food, a grand time was had by all. An estimated 115-120 people, including teachers, volunteers and students, enjoyed the food, fun and fellowship.
The brunch has been going on for several years with exception of 2020, the year of the COVID-19 pandemic.
LeeAnn Maness, a special education teacher at Morristown East, said that the brunch has become a special event at Christmas time.
