News-Miner - Local: "Students enrich the lives of needy kids

Students in the North Pole Elementary after-school enrichment program have been busy enriching the lives of others by making gifts for children at the Center for Non-Violent Living.

Children's advocate Kelly McGuire stopped by to pick up the tic-tac-toe games for the center. 'It's very cool, kids trying to help others and their teachers fostering that,' McGuire said.

There are about 10 children at the center right now, including in transitional living programs.

Students Mikayla Russell, Caitlyn Fulkerson, Sarah Zimmerman, Evelyn Jacobson and Ellissa Healy were excited about being able to give fun and games to children in need."
