Batavia Middle School students took time today to give back to the community that has given all year long to them. They delivered holiday cards, paper snowflakes and snowman soup to local businesses and charitable organizations.
The students spent the first hour or so of the school day preparing the packages for delivery and then a small group of them got on a school bus and drove around the city delivering holiday cheer.
It's the first time the school has taken on such a project said 7th and 8th Grade Assistant Principal Maureen Notaro, who came up with the idea.
"We wanted to give back to some of the community agencies that give so much to us every day," Notaro said.
Student Genevieve Cutro said she hoped the event would spread a little holiday cheer.
"I like helping people very much," she said. "It's good for making people more happy."
