CANTERBURY — The Tuesday before Christmas, Shaker Regional School district students were spreading holiday cheer by making Christmas trees for the NH Veterans Home in Tilton.
New to the area, Allison Dufresne brought her family tradition of making and donating little Christmas trees to Canterbury Elementary School where students learned how to assemble them. "They're made of coat hangers and 30 feet of garland," explains Dufresne. She continues, "The kids really love learning to make one themselves, and it also teaches the kids the importance and joy of giving back to your community."
Fifth grader, Abel Hopey-Sogren, reflects, "I like being able to share the things I do at school with the veterans."
The Veterans Home was happy to have the little trees to decorate the common rooms of the home.
