On December 17, Chevy Chase Trust staff hosted an after school holiday party for students and their families in the Linkages to Learning program at Sargent Shriver Elementary School located in Silver Spring, Maryland. The festivities took place in the school auditorium and the afternoon was filled with arts and crafts, games, cookie decorating, delicious treats, and lots of holiday spirit. CCT staff volunteers were delighted with the opportunity to spend time with the children and their families.
