Secret Santa Visits Camp Hill

SCI Camp Hill's annual tradition, Secret Santa among department head staff, has kicked off again for the 2018 holiday season.

Each year approximately five weeks before Christmas at the monthly department head meeting, names are placed in a hat that gets passed around to all who want to participate in this annual event, and everyone gets to pick a name. Names are then kept a secret until the potluck luncheon that is held a few days prior to Christmas.

Staff who choose to participate are encouraged to reach out to their "secret person" weekly with either words of encouragement, funny holiday message or a small item (i.e. candy bar, soda, etc.). Staff involved have been known to send gifts to other Secret Santas to mix things up and keep things exciting. This tradition was started by Superintendent Laurel Harry as a way to encourage department heads to provide positive messages to each other and brighten up someone else's day over the holidays. This activity has become a favorite wellness activity of many staff.
