The Daisie Foundation was honored to bring Holiday Magic Express to Kagel Elementary in Milwaukee in partnership with the Milwaukee Fire Department—surprising students, teachers, and staff with a schoolwide celebration rooted in joy, generosity, and care.
For nine months, the principal protected the secret of this day with incredible intention, ensuring that no one knew what was coming until the moment Holiday Magic arrived. What followed was a classroom-by-classroom surprise filled with smiles, excitement, and heartfelt gratitude—reminding every student and educator that they are seen, valued, and deeply appreciated.
Holiday Magic Express is designed to reach the entire school, honoring students, teachers, and staff together, and creating life-changing memories that extend far beyond the day itself.
