HUNTINGTON BEACH : ‘Santa’ Replaces Stolen Playhouse
A benefactor who would not give his name brought students at William T. Newland Elementary School a new playhouse Friday to replace one stolen earlier this week.
School Principal Rosemary Eadie said that the man left a brand-new cabin, similar to the one stolen from the schoolyard Wednesday night, with a custodian. When the school employee asked who the children should thank, she said, the man replied, “Just tell them Santa brought it.”
The playhouse was used by special-education classes at the school, teachers said, and its disappearance had upset many of the younger students.
