The students of Grace Episcopal School in Alexandria give to the families of the New Neighbors English Language Learner (ELL) program by collecting cold weather gear for the “Mitten Tree.” The “Mitten Tree” was decorated with brand new hats, scarves, gloves, socks, and mittens. Grace’s youngest students in preschool through future middle-schoolers in grade five adorned the “Mitten Tree” as items were donated.
