Hutchinson Central Technical High School students made sure today that Christmas will last all year.
During an assembly in the school auditorium, they gave a present they feel is very important to the season.
It was $200 — packaged with a wrapping of helpfulness, decorated with ribbons of thoughtfulness.
The tag read: “To the Cerebral Palsy Association of Western New York, 309 North St.”
The gift will buy a kiln and a supply of materials for making ceramics and for enameling on copper.
Edgar J. Schiller, executive director of the association, accepted the gift. He said the kiln will permit the start of a new arts and crafts program.
Kappa Sigma Phi, the school honor society, and the Key Club, a student organization sponsored by the Kiwanis Club, spearheaded the collection.
The presidents of the two groups — Joseph A. Morando of Kappa Sigma Phi and Dennis G. Crosby — said the original thought was to buy toys.
But, through the Community Services Project Committee of the Community Welfare Council they learned of the Cerebral Palsy Association’s need.
