Mitten Line Brings Holiday Spirit to Those in Need

Sag Harbor Elementary School students used mittens to help make a wish come true for community members in need.

The mitten project, which started at Sag Harbor Elementary School several years ago, provides the opportunity for those in need to write down a wish, which is then displayed on a mitten that is hung in the elementary school lobby.

During the week of Dec. 8, elementary students and their caregivers carefully select a mitten and make a wish come true.

Wishes on the 500 mittens this season include art supplies, winter coats, toys and school-related items.

Once all of the wishes arrive, the school, through the guidance office, works to deliver them.
