HIGH POINT — Immaculate Heart of Mary School fourth-graders recently collected toiletries, snacks, hats and gloves for the homeless.
They assembled a “blessing bag” and included a special note of encouragement for each recipient.
The items were donated to Open Door Ministries of High Point.

WINSTON-SALEM — Each Christmas, St. Leo School’s fourth-grade class adopts a family.
They hold a bake sale every November to raise money for gifts. On “Cyber Monday,” students shop online to find the best deals.
They wrap the project up by, well, wrapping the gifts as a class.
The class learned several lessons through this project last Christmas.
Teamwork, technology and math skills all came into play as they worked together to stretch their bake sale money as far as possible.
The most important lesson learned was the joy in giving to others.
