Waukesha parade tragedy, Hadfield School adopted by Oconomowoc

WAUKESHA, Wis. - A yearly mission to bring gifts and holiday cheer to kids in need has taken on a deeper meaning in the wake of the Waukesha Christmas parade attack. Oconomowoc High School students realized the school they adopted in September turned out to be one where students and staff are now coping with the horrific tragedy.

The sounds of carols filled the halls of Hadfield Elementary School Tuesday, Dec. 14, where Santa's helpers were eager to surprise students in need of some fun and laughter.

"It’s been a while since we’ve just found happiness and joy," said Mike Elliott, principal.
