Faith in Action
Many thanks to the 7th, 8th and 9th grade students who so generously donated warm hats for the men at the St. Francis House day shelter in Boston. We collected 75 hats. During the Friends for Good segment of the evening, students wrote personal notes wishing the men good health in the coming cold months and attached them to the hats.
