Smithton Elementary School Student Council members will be working their “elfin magic” this week as they help fellow students create holiday gifts.
Whitney Hayes, the school’s K-6 computers instructor and student council sponsor, said the goal was to create “something for kids to give to somebody special.” What they came up with was Christmas ornaments for students in kindergarten through fourth grade, while the fifth- and sixth-graders will make fudge later this week.
