Thank you to St. Michael's School
Pack-a-Pillowcase Project

The 1st Grade children at St. Michael's school, North Andover decorated the pillowcases and filled them with crayons and coloring book, tissues, toothbrush and paste, stuffed toys,
facecloths and soap. The foster children will receive these gifts upon coming into the system as one of the many ways DCF serves the needs of these kids during a very difficult time.
