This December, two Wilson Talent Center students were spotted bringing the holiday spirit to life through community service and small-business leadership at The Village of Ashley’s "North Pole" event.
Annabelle, a student in the Business & Risk Management program, volunteered as a festive elf with Sawdust Santas—a local nonprofit that builds handcrafted wooden toys for children in need. She helped young visitors arriving on the North Pole Express steam engine put wheels on wooden toys made in Santa’s Workshop. The experience was co-led by Pete and Dianne Eisinger, former Ingham ISD staff, and supported a mission of spreading joy to youth across the region.
Meanwhile, Madison, a Patient Care Technician student, helped operate her family’s multi-generational small business, Fabinelli’s Handmade Candy, serving up traditional holiday sweets and smiles for visitors of all ages.
From elves and engineers to entrepreneurs and educators, these WTC students are proving that community connection and compassion are powerful forces—especially during the holiday season.
