Students assemble health kits

    
     Harry Hoag Elementary School students in grades pre-kindergarten to six have been working to assemble health kits that will be sent to the people of Haiti. Each kit contains a hand towel, a washcloth, a comb, a nail file or fingernail clippers, a bath-size bar of soap, a toothbrush, and six adhesive plastic strip sterile bandages, and toothpaste. All items are new. The idea of the health kit project is for young students to feel they can help others in a difficult situation without having collect money. Among the many students who helped are those in Tammy Angus' class. In back are therapist Lori Fredericks, who organized the effort school-wide, and Angus. The completed kits will be presented to the Fort Plain United Methodist Church which will send them to the United Methodist Church Committee on Relief. Haiti is the February charity of the month at Harry Hoag Elementary School. Each month staff members at Harry Hoag “dress down”on Fridays to support a worthy cause.  BACK TO HARRY HOAG HOME PAGE
