Scarves Give Warmth and Spark Giving


Our class was given 24 hand-knitted scarves from a woman at my church. She wanted to make sure that all the kids at Jamestown Elementary were warm this winter. What a beautiful and thoughtful gift- to know that someone was kind enough to think of our class and take the time to knit a scarf for each child truly warms my heart. Knowing that some children may need a winter scarf and some may not, I suggested to the class that if they knew of someone else that could use the scarf more than themselves, they could give it to them. I was proud when some students asked to give it to a homeless shelter, a younger brother or sister, a newly adopted child, and some didn't take one at all and said to give it to someone else at school. We wanted to have a photo of everyone wearing their scarf as part of a thank you to Mrs. Hudson (our knitter extraordinaire)! Here is a serious and a silly shot (of course).
