Mrs. Devers’ and Mrs. Shaw’s students walked into a huge surprise! Mrs. Devers wanted to do something special for them, so she asked friends and family if they had any interest in donating a blanket to a student as a Christmas gift. In less than 24 hours people stepped up and had sponsored all 29 students! The surprise and excitement was overwhelming! She told them all that every time they use the blanket, to remember they are loved and special to people who have never even met them.
