A Jones College Christmas was a special time to remember the season with food, fellowship, and fantastic performances from the College of Arts, Music, and Performance. The Christmas Tea and Christmas Tree Lighting prepared everyone for the Christmas message on full display throughout the evening's performances from all of the Fine Arts instrumental/vocal groups. Most importantly, the response from the toy drive for the Salvation Amy's Angel Tree Program was overwhelming!!
