Young stars Carlon Jeffery and Jamia Simone Nash were happy to be Santa’s helpers for the students of La Salle Elementary School in Los Angeles, California on December 6th.

Carlon and Jamia, along with basketball player Chris Paul, Justin Lee, Aaron Fresh, Jared Hernandez, and Jennifer Veal gave the students Christmas gifts in partnership with LA’s Best After School Program. The program’s mission is to provide a safe and secure environment for elementary school students ages 5 to 12 in the city of Los Angeles.

The kids were happy and surprised when they realized they were having an early Christmas. The excitement event got the best of Carlon.  “Since becoming an actor I realize that part of what I do is to give back and help others,” Carlon said.

Jamia is currently working on her upcoming EP, “To the Future and Back” and released her songs “Been On” and “Without Me” earlier this year.
