The Greater Las Vegas After-School All-Stars are helping ensure a joyous holiday season for the Valley's disadvantaged youth.

The volunteers kicked off their holiday gift distribution drive with a party at Roundy Elementary School Tuesday.

Elaine Wynn, wife of Wynn Resorts owner Steve Wynn, was there to help.

"It's our way of kicking off the holiday season by making sure everybody goes home with some Christmas presents, holiday presents, crayons, coloring books, cookies, drinks. And what do you think, are we having a good time? Yes," Wynn said.

Santa and Mrs. Claus showed up at the school as well.

After-School All-Stars serves 15 schools in the Valley and has positively influenced more than 100,000 southern Nevada youth.
