December 12 marked the final day of E.T. Hamilton Elementary School’s annual Helping Hands Giving Tree holiday gift drive.
Since mid-November students at the school have purchased blankets and books for boys and girls of different ages at the Center for Family Services.
Of the school’s nearly 420 students, more than 350 gifts were collected. Officials with the Hamilton Parent Faculty Association who organized the drive said it was a big success and praised the students for their hard work.
