The Greyson Project Here is a little bit more information about this non-profit organization and why it was started. Sweet Greyson, was a relative of our 3rd grade teacher, Mrs. Masat. In late 2010, Greyson's family spent the holidays in the hospital and that's eventually where they had to say goodbye to this sweet boy. Friends and family sent them a care package decorating their room to make it feel more like home. All who visited were struck by that fact that their room was one of the only ones with decorations. As a tribute to Greyson, they began this project: to donate bags of decorations to families having to spend the holidays in the hospital. The Greyson Project now provides bags to multiple hospitals in 15 different states. If you feel so inclined to participate in The Greyson Project, there are a couple ways you can participate. You can donate individual Christmas items and bags will be put together using said items, OR you can donate a complete bag of Christmas items to be delivered to families. Here are some examples of what your bag could look like. All items in the bag need to be new, with tags left on every item. Also, Targets Christmas items are currently 50% off. So it is a great time to fill a bag! Thank you for making "everyone feel at home for the holidays". All bags collected at H-T will be brought to the Sanford Children Hospital in Sioux Falls.
