The spirit of giving is alive and well at Grant D. Morse Elementary School, where teachers came together to support school families through an Adopt-A-Student gift drive. Principal Kristina Giangreco worked alongside the school’s social worker, nurse, and psychologist to identify families in need. Teachers and staff selected gifts from an anonymous list and purchased items to help ensure every student felt remembered this season.
