During the time of year when children start thinking about what they want for Christmas, pre-K students at St. Peter's R.C. School learned giving can be fun, too. Students in Mrs. Shanks's pre-K 3 and Mrs. Ryan's pre-K 4 classes created a giving tree to raise money for Niagara Hospice.
Thirty-five students participated by selling "leaves" for the tree for $1 each. The leaves were hung on the tree that is displayed at the school. The students donated the $240 they raised to Niagara Hospice. The classes also created ornaments for the Niagara Hospice Christmas tree displayed at the
New York Power Authority Festival of Trees.
