Left, the Christmas tree at the Jensen Beach Post Office as our 24 RotaKids arrive from the Jensen Beach Elementary School to decorate it. They are all third graders who are members of the RotaKids Club which is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Stuart. Above right the students line up to pick out the decorations they wish to put on the tree. You can see how they have lined up away from the red runner that is used by the post office customers. They work together to trim the tree, selecting the ornaments and going to the tree in groups of 3-5 RotaKids at a time. Below right; RotaKids leaders, Rotarians Pat Tobin and Jane Mills are hanging several ornaments that the children wanted to have on the tree higher than they could reach so they directed the adults as to exactly where it was to go. Bottom right; these are a wonderful group of exuberant young people who worked well together to make a beautiful Christmas tree.

Revealing the secret of how third graders manage to put Father Christmas on the top of the tree, with a little help from someone almost as old as Father Christmas.
