Cookies with Santa Brings Holiday Cheer

Loyola Blakefield welcomed the spirit of the season on Saturday, December 13, as more than 400 members of the Loyola Blakefield community gathered for the 2nd annual Cookies with Santa celebration.

Families and friends filled Knott Hall with festive energy as they enjoyed sweet treats, holiday activities, and special visits from Santa Claus and a surprise guest—the Grinch, who may have arrived with mischievous intentions but quickly became a fan favorite, winning over guests with his playful charm.

The event offered a joyful opportunity for community members of all ages to connect, celebrate, and create lasting holiday memories. From cookies, crafts and photo opportunities to laughter and shared traditions, Cookies with Santa once again highlighted the warmth and togetherness that define the Loyola Blakefield community.

We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who attended and helped make the day such a success. A special note of gratitude goes to the volunteers and staff whose time, energy, and holiday spirit brought the event to life. Their dedication ensured a welcoming and memorable experience for all.
