Santa pays a call Who said elves only live in the North Pole? We had some right here at Gross High this Christmas. In fact, every one of us played the role of Santa's helper in one way or another. No, we didn't scamper around in little hats and shoes constructing toys for boys and girls everywhere. Every student in each homeroom contributed money. When all of it was collected, a group of people dashed to the shopping centers. Lists had been sent to each homeroom telling what each child wanted. With the help of these lists, the last min- Fifth graders from Sacred Heart School enter- tain with Christmas carols. Santa fLewis Faderl questions the Sacred Heart students about their Christmas gifts. if ute shoppers were able to make most of the children's dreams come true. Boxes big and small, tall and short, poured into Gross on December 19. They were put into sacks, separated by grades, and brought down to the main gym. They were stored behind the stage until the big moment final- ly arrived. The Sacred Heart students soon arrived and took seats in the center of the gym. Fifth graders performed and sang Christmas carols for every- one in the gym. The entire school gave the Sacred Heart children a huge round of applause. Then it was time, the sacks were taken out and the gifts were distrib- uted to each and every child from primary to junior high. lt gave me a special feeling to be F able to give to those less fortunatel than l, said Laurie Schwery.

Students gain awareness During the week of September 23-27, students were exposed to many aspects of social justice as the students were asked to remember the less fortunate. Friday, September 27, was set aside for Peace and Justice Day. Each division heard from a variety of speakers. These speakers discussed their involvement with social justice and what the students could do to help in this area. Mrs. Sharon McNeil, founder of Michaella Wright, after her introduction, lis- tens to Adjman libhal Bonjbon speak on social injustice. Kimberly Kelly Sean Kenealy jeffrey Kirkpatrick Lori Kitta Todd Klein Frank Kment Tricia Kmiecik the Stephen Center, spoke of the poor and homeless in South Omaha. As a result of this new awareness, the Franciscan Sisters prepared meals for the center every Monday night. In response to this week the stu- dent body decided to do something for the poor. Each homeroom chose one task designed to help the com- munity. There was a wide variety of charities and services chosen. Some homerooms chose to sponsor a des- titute child, while others decided to raise money for charity or to devote some of their time to organizations for the needy Some students felt that the week contributed to their awareness not only of the injustices of the world but also of those in our own commu nity.
