The holiday season has no shortage of young students, kindergartners to high schoolers, working on various projects to add some kind of cheer for people in the community.
Cards or wreaths for senior citizens in care facilities, food or clothing or toy drives or gathering essentials for the less fortunate – all are prime examples of well-intended efforts.
Some elementary teachers in the Blue Springs School District decided this pandemic year presented a different chance to spread some seasonal gratitude and joy. They had students construct thank-you cards, and even some banners, for front-line workers at two area hospitals. Many of those workers have had a weary and at times worrisome year dealing with the pandemic in their various roles.
