North Side students make Christmas bright for children with cancer

Students will shop for gifts for the cancer survivors and their siblings at Meijer on Lima Road from 4:30-6 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 2. They will be wrapping the gifts after school (2:40 p.m.) on Thursday, Dec. 3.
The students and staff raise money from others in the building as well as ask for support from outside organizations. The party on Sunday gives the children an opportunity to meet the high school students involved and enjoy food and entertainment.
