For the classroom
Students at Rapid City Catholic Schools in South Dakota gave winter clothes to veterans who are without homes, KOTA reported. The drive is called Long Johns for Long Johns, and this is its seventh year. Students raised money and donated thermals, gloves, hats, and socks to Cornerstone Rescue Mission. The mission is the place that can get the clothes to the veterans. Seven years means the schools have kept the drive going, not that this is the first time.
