\"\"<\/a>ELLISVILLE \u2013 The partnership between Â鶹ֱ²¥\u2019s Fine Arts department and the Salvation Army has brought hundreds of toys to children and smiles from adults enjoying the last five Christmas benefit shows. This year, the audience attending the Christmas Show, \u201cSanta\u2019s Swingin\u2019 Pajama Party\u201d was extremely gracious in giving unwrapped toy donations for the Salvation Army\u2019s Angel Tree program in lieu of a ticket for the concert.\u00a0 After the show, Jones students helped the Salvation Army fill a dozen bags full of toys for children in the Pine Belt.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201cGiving has been up this year but it is always amazing to witness the outpouring of love from the community for these kids.\u00a0 With the booming economy, we have collected more gifts with about the same number of people requesting our assistance. The donation of toys from the community and Â鶹ֱ²¥ will help greatly,\u201d said Laurel Salvation Army Major, Raymond Pruitt.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>JCJC Fine Arts Division Chair, Mark Brown said he is happy about the big crowd attending the Christmas Show and donating presents. The music groups, JC Voices, JC Jazz, Bridge, along with the Touch of Gold Dance Team and theater students combined their talents to reward the crowd for their generosity with various traditional, new and jazzy Christmas songs and a show, directed by Bruce Smith.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201c\u2018Santa\u2019s Swingin\u2019 Pajama Party\u2019 was a tremendous success and I would like to thank the community for giving so generously to The Salvation Army Angel Tree Campaign. The students and faculty involved in the performance were pleased to have such a wonderful audience full of friends, young and old enjoying an entertaining show,\u201d said Mark Brown.<\/p>\n
