Students at Lincoln Elementary in Morton District 709 decorated a Christmas tree at their school with mittens, scarves and winter items. These items will be donated to those in need. This is a long tradition at Lincoln Elementary and a great way to decorate a Christmas tree.

from Auburn High School in Rockford decided to solve the problem of so many kids without winter hats at a neighboring school. The girls recruited friends and parents to help make 1,000 “Happy Heads” Hats for elementary students. They put in many hours of work on these hats. The project was funded by the families with help from Auburn and Jefferson High Schools.
