Notebook: Second-graders make fleece hats for Olive Crest

With the holidays in full swing, the second-graders at Northwest Christian School recently displayed thespirit of the season when the students made fleece hats for children at Olive Crest, a local nonprofit committed to preventing child abuse and treating and educating at-risk kids.
