St. Gregory’s first-graders gather items for The Source

In cooperation with Marsha Martin’s Ben’s Stockings of Hope project, the first-grade students at St. Gregory School created a Christmas service project that will benefit clients of The Source in Maryville. The students received stuffed animals and Christmas stockings from Martin, who is pictured at right with the class. The class filled the stockings with items a newborn and their family would enjoy having to present to Ashley Heideman, from The Source.
