Kindergarten through sixth-grade students entertained area nursing home residents and senior citizens Dec. 16 with their performance of “365 Days of Christmas” at the school.

St. Mary students also participated in the Caring for Clyde Kids Community Toy Drive, a program chaired by school secretary Kay Dick. The goal of the drive, now in its 17th year, was to provide toys to 400 children. Through the Clyde Food Pantry, the toys are distributed to students residing in the Clyde-Green Springs School District through Dec. 22.
