Bosch once again answers call for Faulk

Bosch Power Tools starts planning for its Angel Tree program with Faulk Elementary in October. On Wednesday at the Schoettle Center it all came together.

Bosch made over 30 Faulk students' Christmas a special one by giving gifts, bringing in Santa Claus and serving a light breakfast.

"This is so enjoyable for our associates," said Bosch HR manager Marion Littlejohn. "This is something we wait all year for."

The morning started out with the students being served Christmas Tree donuts and juice. Then the moment of truth came with the arrival of old St. Nick, much to the delight of the students.

Personal presents to each child were passed out by Santa.

Bosch is in its fourth year as a major player in the West Memphis School District's Partners In Education. It took over the Angel Tree program with the loss of Crittenden Regional Hospital.

"We start working on this in October," Littlejohn added. "We work with the school as soon as possible. The folks we have working with us on this program really want to give back, and I think it serves as a blessing just as much for us as it does Faulk."

Littlejohn was joined at the program by director of physical distribution Virgil Roberson, Surrekka Crowder, Greg Westbrooks Sr., Destiny Knighten, Sherlyn
