Noel Minneci, a Midway resident who loves knitting, wants the teachers at Park City’s Trailside Elementary School to keep warm during the winter.
So she hand-knitted 54 winter hats that were distributed by her daughter-in-law and fourth-grade teacher Susan Minneci this week.
The idea to knit the hats came to Ninneci while she and her husband, Jack, decided to social distance themselves during the coronavirus pandemic.
“Every year during Christmastime, I would give Susan a few things I have knitted throughout the year to give her classroom mates who have helped her, and this year, when Jack and I decided we were going to be strict about staying home, I decided to knit hats,” Minneci said. “I wanted to do something nice for the teachers, because they work so hard. I wanted to recognize them for keeping school going for the kids.”
