Each year since 1996, Holy Ghost Catholic School’s fourth-grade students have earned and collected money as an Advent project to purchase toys for the Pediatric Unit playroom at North Oaks Medical Center. The students are instructed by Linda Owens, Shanna DeMarco and Alexis Wallette.
The project was started 21 years ago in memory of a former fourth-grade student Jason Tinnerello, according to Owens.
North Oaks Women & Children's Services Director Kimberly Woods and Patient Services Secretary Linda Jo Kincaid visited with the students on Friday, Dec. 15 to personally thank them and explain how the donated toys will be used to comfort and entertain hospitalized children.
