Pictured, students shop for – then wrap – presents for two families on Tuesday, Dec. 18. Howe said that her class sold candy 1,908 candy canes before school on Nov. 29, Dec, 6, and Dec. 11. Along with cash donations, the class raised $497 that they used to shop for presents at the Cottonwood Walmart. Each family also received a Bashas' gift card to buy groceries for Christmas dinner, each child received clothing, jackets and toys, and parents also received small gifts.
