Big hearts and wonderful imaginations
BYRAM In December, no matter what we celebrate, our thoughts often turn to giving to others. Students in the Byram Lakes School showed the spirit of the season by choosing to give to others. For the past month students in Ms. Maria Joiner, Mrs. Theresa Friend, Ms. Angela Gnecco, Mrs. Joan Corey and Ms. Rachel Carter's classes have been using every spare minute to make holiday decorations. Using glitter, glue, beads, foam, popsicle sticks, pipe cleaners and big hearts and wonderful imaginations the students made decorations for both Hanukkah and Christmas. These decorations were sold during lunches to all the students in the school, and the money collected was used to brighten the holidays of several Byram families. The students raised $965 and their own awareness of the joy found in helping others.
