Episcopal High School Student Council representatives delivered a Christmas surprise to Melrose Elementary School students.

The Episcopal students set up the surprise at Melrose after school on Dec. 1. They placed a copy of the story of St. Nick on teachers’ desks and left a backpack for every student in grades three and under. The Episcopal Student Council previously provided a book for every student in grades four and five.

The Melrose students saw the surprise when they arrived at school the next morning. Episcopal Upper School Head David Zielinski greeted the students dressed as St. Nick.
