With Christmas just twenty days away, the shopping is underway, and while most of us are shopping for gifts for others, today some kids from the St. Louis School in Tyler got to go shopping for themselves. KLTV 7′s Danielle Capper went along as they filled their carts, had fun, and learned something along the way. With a wish list and a shopping cart, the 95 students from the St. Louis School were off. With their teacher’s help, many picked out just what they wanted for Christmas.

Austin Bradley showed us his treasures. “A CD, and some pajamas.”

With toys, clothes, blankets – each got to spend fifty dollars on whatever they wanted.

The Glenda Jean Mostyn & Joe E. Moreno Foundation Annual Christmas Lights Program brought an early Christmas to students enrolled in JISD’s program for special needs children.

An annual gift from the Foundation, the students are treated to a $50 shopping spree and traditional lunch with family, staff and teachers invited to attend. Last Thursday, school buses lined Austin and Commerce Streets as children were shuttled, along with aides and teachers, from their Wal-Mart shopping experience to the Norman Activity Center luncheon and a special visit from Santa.
