Townsend Times - Today's Headlines: "Kids Helping Katrina's Kids aids to help displaced students

By Diane C. Beaudoin

TOWNSEND -- A Townsend mother and her teenage son are working to make a caring difference in the lives of displaced students from the hurricane-ravaged Gulf Coast as they are forced to relocate to new communities.

Ellen Marie Theep, and her son Will Stankiewicz, have started 'Kids Helping Katrina's Kids.' Theep said, 'It was a brainchild that happened in my kitchen.'

Their effort will be to collect money to fill backpacks or already filled backpacks for the students who will be absorbed into Texas school systems due to Katrina's wrath."
