Law’s Future Business Leaders of America Club hosted its 2nd Annual “Winter Wonderland” fundraiser on December 15. 

The Winter Wonderland was held from 4-7 p.m. in the Cafeteria. There were various arts and crafts, letters to Santa, pictures with Santa, cookie decorating, ornament making, hot cocoa, a snack/coffee stand, music, and much more. 

Business teachers and FBLA advisors Mrs. Israelite and Mr. Beler helped the students organize the event.

“FBLA conducting an annual Winter Wondering benefits not only the club but the community,” senior FBLA secretary Caden Simpson said. “Teachers love bringing their children, as well as student siblings, and parents bringing their children in general. The Winter Wonderland fundraiser allows members of the club to work on marketing, finance, and planning as the event takes weeks to put together.”

The event cost $10 per child or $25 per family. All the money collected will go towards the FBLA club to participate in various trips and activities and to offset the cost of FBLA state and national testing. 

“We invited all the elementary students in town for a Holiday experience,” Beler said. “This year, Platt Tech’s carpentry created the wooden ornaments and helped the kids paint them and The Boys and Girls provided the face painting. This was a complete Miliford community event and of course we had the Best Santa Clause ever who happens to be a Jonathan Law alum.”

Children of all ages were welcome to join and it was open to all of Milford and even some surrounding towns. 

“The FBLA students did an amazing job again with this year’s Winter Wonderland,” English teacher Mr. Kulenych said. “My daughter (Katie) started asking about this year’s event as soon as December started because she had so much fun last year and this year was just as memorable. There were so many crafts and activities for the kids – and Santa was there. What’s better than that?”

The FBLA Club is looking to host this event again next year with even more activities.
