Tis The Season!Gift Giving
Tis the season for gift giving! Fairview Elementary and
DHSCommunities In Schools teamed up to make Christmas extra
special
for fourteen "Superior Citizens" from each grade at Fairview.
The
teachers from each classroom selected students who demonstrated
all
the positive qualities of respectful citizens within the
Fairview
community, and allowed them to participate in this fun-filled
event.
Two days before Christmas vacation, the DHS students wrapped
and
labeled gifts for Fairview students, and walked over to the
school as a
group. In the cafeteria, Ms. Holmes and the Superior Citizens
waited
for the big kids to come so that they could chat, color
Christmas tree
pictures, enjoy cookies and cider, and play with their new
gifts.
Corrine G., a DHS student said, "I really liked those little
kids at
Fairview. They were so cute, and I had a really good time
coloring
with them and talking to them." It sounds like the gifts didn't
just
come as wrapped presents- they came as the memories everyone
will
keep in their hearts.
