Lincoln students hand-made ornaments to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project.

Lincoln Elementary students worked hard  on a special project in Mrs. Jill Majestic’s art classes. This month, students in grades 1-5 hand-made 600 tree ornaments to sell at Lincoln's Frosty Shop to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project.  The ornaments were $2 each and came with special gift bags and cards. The ornament sale was a great success raising $1,215 for the Wounded Warrior Project.

The proceeds from the ornament sale will help purchase Wounded Warrior Project backpacks that wounded service members receive as they arrive at military trauma units across the United States. The backpacks are filled with essential care and comfort items such as clothing, toiletries, playing cards, and more - all designed to make a hospital stay more comfortable.

The purpose of the Wounded Warrior Project is to raise awareness and enlist the public's aid for the needs of injured service members, to help injured service members aid and assist each other, and to provide unique, direct programs and services to meet the needs of injured service members.
