Jack Elementary Students to Pass Out Blankets

Tyler – Jack Elementary School 5th graders are spreading the warmth of the holidays for those in need. On Friday 5th grade teacher Tristan Arrington, told KTBB that the students are very excited. “I have heard many students say they love helping others and wish they could do more.” Arrington went on to say, “the students give up their recess time to tie the blankets and prepare them.” The current total blankets is closing in on 150 that will be given out to those less fortunate on Saturday. The students and teachers will partner with Jesus’ Closet, a local ministry of Faith Community Church, to pass out blankets to the homeless on Saturday.

Mrs. Monica Miller is a 5th grade teacher involved with project and says “Classes have done this project for several years and have given out nearly 400 blankets those in need.”
