Rising Houston rapper Trae the Truth will join local councilman Jarvis Johnson this Thursday (December 18) for the 3rd
annual “Winter Wonderland,” a Christmas party for students in Houston’s
District B that have shown the most improved grades this year.Trae will don Santa the Claus garb to greet arriving kids and hand out toys supplied by Councilman Peter Brown.
The
event marks Trae’s second community outreach event in the last two
months. In November, the rapper participated in “Tackle Hunger,” a
Thanksgiving food drive done in partnership with the Amobi Okoye
Foundation.
This
year’s “Winter Wonderland” is being held at Discovery Green Park in
downtown Houston. In addition to Trae’s Santa role, the kids will be
treated to ice-skating, horse trolley rides, and a snowman-making
contest. The children will be comprised of 25 students from 20
different schools throughout District B who have demonstrated the most
significant improvement with their grades.
Councilman
Jarvis Johnson hopes by having such a high-profile event, more kids
will be motivated to focus on their studies in the coming year.
“By
rewarding the academic success of the most improved students, it is my
expectation that other students will strive harder next year to achieve
the same success,” Johnson told AllHipHop.com.
“Winter
Wonderland” will commence from 10AM-1PM tomorrow. Local Houston media
and citizens are encouraged to attend and support the event.
