Toms River High School East will be hosting the "largest holiday party ever" for Hurricane Sandy-affected kids, school officials say.

The event will take place Saturday from 2 to 6 p.m.

Partnering with Jillian Messina and Jennifer Caputo, two 1996 Toms River High School East grads, the event is an invitation-only party for all students identified by their prinicpals as children directly affected by the hurricane.

"We are expecting over 1000 people and Santa is coming in on a helicopter," said Tammi Millar, a spokesperson for Toms River schools.
