his past Christmas, Mrs. Crawford, a Pre-K 4 teacher at New Boston Elementary School, was inspired to reach out to her community in an effort to coordinate a collection drive to assemble blessing bags for homeless individuals, partnering with her church community, family, friends, and even some parents of her students. Her collective efforts resulted in the delivery of fifty bags to the Randy Sam’s Homeless Shelter in Texarkana. Moreover, her daughter and her husband will be distributing additional bags to homeless individuals in Little Rock, Arkansas. Each bag contained a thoughtful selection of items, including a hat, scarf, gloves, hot hands (hand warmers), chapstick, slim Jim beef jerky, an inspirational message, and peppermint candy.
