This year, the kindergarten classes are continuing an endeavor we began last year, called the “Hope Chest” as part of our “Be Kind” theme at Norris.  The students convey kindness to others by donating items to local charitable organizations. Throughout the year, we ask for specific items needed by local organizations. The children place the items in the “Hope Chest” located outside of the elementary office door. During the month of December, the kindergarten students are gathering pajamas, slippers, blankets, robes and fuzzy socks. These items will be delivered to the City Mission prior to Christmas. Although this is primarily a kindergarten activity, anyone may donate!
