🥶💞 It’s COLD out there, but this circle of gratitude is warming our hearts:
💌 Children living at The Village decorated beautiful cards to express their thanks after fifth graders at Squadron Line Elementary School in Simsbury raised money to throw them a pizza party and sent their own heartfelt letters earlier this winter.
