5th Grade students made audio cassette tapes of Christmas songs to send to 2 units of service people stationed in Somalia.  Jim Somerville from radio station WCEN and Russ McKellar from Blue Dog Audio donated their time, tapes, and shrink wrap.   Grimm's Printing donated labor and supplies for the covers (which were designed by ___? a fifth grade student.)  Over 200 tapes were made and sent to a U.S. Medical Detachment Unit and a U.S. Engineer Battalion in Somalia.
