There isn’t a year that goes by that the children at Gulf Breeze Elementary School don’t give the gift of song to residents of Watermark of Gulf Breeze.
This year, the students trekked to the facility, formerly called The Villas, last Friday and sang a number of Christmas songs to the residents.
A pianist played songs as children danced and sang for the residents.
The week leading up to the annual tradition, students prepared special gifts for the residents of the facilities. Following their song and dance, they passed out handmade table mats for the residents.
