Christmas Events 2010-2013

Dec 2013: Some of the fifth graders from Forest View Elementary School joined the school counselor, Amber Daniels and their parents to deliver Christmas gift bags to the elderly at Overland Park Nursing Home. Overland Park, Kansas. Gifts of colorful slipper socks, lotions, candy, and kleenex were kindly delivered to each resident. First graders also made lovely cards that brought smiles when delivered. The elderly residents enjoyed receiving these gifts, but the highlight was to be able to meet the fifth graders. They smiled and were so glad to have visitors not only bring gifts but to bring themselves.

Thank you for Forest View Elementary School, Olathe, Kansas for participating in Christmas gift giving to help make Christmas 2013 a little bit brighter!
