WHITE MARSH, MD—Some local students went out of their way to keep those in need warm this winter.

Preschool students at The Goddard School of White Marsh (Honeygo), located at 4960 Mercantile Road (21236), spent the month of September collecting socks for those in need as they participated in a character education unit on compassion.

The children learned about caring for others and put their creative skills to use by working together to create a classroom graph capturing their progress.

The preschool teachers had the opportunity to visit the Eastern Family Resource Center to deliver the donations.
