Look at the smiles on the faces of these children who are giving to Veterans.
Isn't giving (not just "receiving") what Christmas is all about?

Veterans Cards
Mrs.
Griffins 2nd Graders at Allen Bowden are making Christmas cards for
Veterans who are in the Jack C. Montgomery Hospital in Muskogee.
Mrs. Griffin, a teacher at Allen Bowden School near Sapulpa
to
have her students make Christmas cards to distribute to the patients at
the VA hospital in Muskogee on Christmas Eve. Mrs. Griffin thought
this would be a wonderful opportunity to teach her students about
community service integrated with language arts.
Mrs.
Griffin’s students were delighted with the idea and spent numerous
hours composing, revising, and decorating their cards. Each card is
unique and contains the child’s picture. Griffin also got the 1st and 3rd
grades involved. The children hope to hear back from some of the
veterans and probably will. They will try and continue this “random act
of kindness” with other holidays as well.
