For 22 years, 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, Kristi Galaforo and Alexis
Wallette.
The project began in 1996 in memory of a former fourth-grade student Jason
Tinnerello, according to Owens.
North Oaks
Children's Services Clinical Nurse Manager Tamara Mitchell and Patient Services Secretary
Linda Jo Kincaid visited with the students Tuesday, Dec. 4 to personally
thank them and explain how the donated toys will be used to comfort and
entertain hospitalized children.
