Wayne Elementary School 5th grade student leadership team members delivered homemade mats, gloves, scarves, and hats to the Harmony House in Huntington. The leadership team made an announcement to the student body asking for donations to help buy the gloves, hats, and scarves. They made signs and posted them throughout the school. They collected a grand total of $300. The mats are made from donated grocery bags that Mrs. Shreve knitted together to make mats for people to sleep on. Mrs. Criswell is the lead teacher of our student leadership team and orchestrated the entire project with the help of the students. WES is so proud of our team and entire student body!❤️🖤
