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.
