San Jacinto Elementary Girls Receive Dolls at Tea Party

Six girls from San Jacinto Elementary participated in a tea party and received an American Doll from the organization Dolls for All. The mission of Dolls for All is to spread joy through giving American Girl dolls to deserving children. Thanks to this organization and Anna Jane Hilbrich all nominations were accepted, and the tea party was planned by Janet Tello and Margaret Ehlig. Anna Jane Hilbrich has organized these tea parties in previous years; however, this year with the pandemic she was not able to be present for the event. She participated virtually and enjoyed speaking the girls.
