Though class was not in session, the day offered its own lesson about the power of community.
About three dozen volunteers spent the morning at the school, packing bags of groceries for 115 families around St. Paul.
Tucked alongside the eggs, meat and pasta were neatly packed holiday treats hot cocoa, candy canes and a wide variety of cookies.
Over the past several days, about a dozen neighbors who live near the school helped make more than 800 cookies to ensure that no student would spend holiday break without a special gift, baked with care.
