NEW PHILADELPHIA − There was no shortage of warmth and good cheer inside the halls of New Philadelphia City Schools, according to a community announcement.

Students crushed goals and spread kindness this month.

Here’s a recap of some recent events:

● The schools in the district got into the giving spirit, donating presents to the Share a Christmas program and filling their school’s festive tree with gifts for local families. The kindness of all the families who contributed food and gifts is deeply appreciated.

● A couple of fourth graders from West Elementary wowed their teachers by correctly solving 25 two-digit-by-one-digit multiplication problems in just one minute.

● The Ohio Gorillas Club delivered complete Thanksgiving meals to families across the district. Their donation, coordinated with social worker Lexi Begue, made a real difference during the holiday season.
