Joyful Berry

Berry heralded the arrival of another Christmas season with a series of events to inspire even the grumpiest Scrooge.

Preparation for finals and other late-semester assignments didn’t stop students from showcasing their talents at Lessons and Carols – a holiday favorite in the Berry College Chapel. Oak Hill and The Martha Berry Museum also came alive with the annual Candles and Carols celebration, which drew hundreds of visitors for a night of inspirational sights, beautiful songs and, of course, Santa Claus.

During the run of “Santaland Diaries” the Berry College Theatre Company collected 66 new toys and raised $1,200 for the Toys for Tots foundation through the generosity of the Berry Equestrian Team and other contributions made via tickets and sales.

Winding down the year, pajama-clad tots and their student teachers at the Child Development Center took a ride on the “Polar Express” chugging through campus on a spring-like December day!
