BERLIN – More than 1,100 holiday cards were distributed to local nursing homes and assisted living facilities as part of a high school student’s collection efforts.
On Dec. 18, Stephen Decatur High School junior Hannah Mourlas delivered just over 1,140 holiday cards to residents of Gull Creek Senior Living Community, Berlin Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, and The Woodlands. The distribution effort, she said, followed a holiday card drive she organized through her school.
“I know that it’s hard now for students to get their service learning hours in for school,” she said, “and I wanted to put together an opportunity for my peers to get the hours they needed.”
