Brutal cold, that's for sure!! While waiting in the Gregory Elementary Faculty Cafe yesterday for the Hinsdale Central students to bring winter coats and clothing to the children at Gregory I could help but notice the number of children who came into the cafe looking for gloves, mittens, and/or hats. The lost and found was pretty much picked over so they went about heading home without.
Thank goodness the Hinsdale Central High School Students Assisting Students (SAS) and the Invitation to Teach class brought needed winter wear as the school day was ending. These groups through various fundraising were able to amass over 70 winter coats, dozens of pairs of gloves/mittens and a huge collection of winter hats. Talk about making an impact and doing it in a timely fashion.
To underscore just how thankful the Gregory staff was at the sight of seeing the arrival of the winter wear, many of them took a moment to break away from a faculty meeting to thank those students who collected/bought the gear in addition to bringing it to Gregory. There were some mighty big smiles!!!
Just another way in which the Hinsdale Central community and school shows that it cares!
Many thanks,
Dick
