Boxes sit outside the main office waiting to be filled. In the past, students have visited some Detroit area schools, such as HolyTrinity Catholic School, where they spent a' winter day with those students. One first-grade boy, while walkingwith a St. Paul parent and child, said, "Mysister and I have to share the scarf I am wearing. It's so cold. I'm glad today Is my day for the scarf." These visits and work with the homeless and other are real-life reminders to St. Paul students of how young and old are lacking In basic comforts. As the boxes fill up, so do the hopes of helping make simple wishes of those in need come true.
