Montgomery Catholic Preparatory Grandparent Lights Up St. Bede Elementary Campus

Mr. Jerril Scoggins and his second grade granddaughter, 
Natalie in St. Bede Art Gallery Winter Wonderland.
Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School has a long history of wonderful family volunteers that make our school great.  Mr. Jerril Scoggins is continuing that tradition. In Christmases past Mr. Scoggins would decorate his home with over 25,000 lights. Since he has given up the grand displays at his home, he thought he could put those lights to use at his granddaughter's school. His granddaughter is Natalie Scoggins, a second grader at St. Bede. 
This year he volunteered to turn the MCPS St. Bede campus art gallery into a Winter Wonderland Forest of Christmas trees. The display featured students' holiday art work and included a fabulous light display complete with a fireplace and lights dancing to Christmas carols.  Mr. Scoggins spent Thanksgiving weekend installing the Winter Wonderland.  The display is open to all to enjoy, Monday - Fridays, from Thanksgiving to Christmas.
