given by Heppner Elemen
tary Student Claire Grieb.
Claire and her sib
lings had given an even
bigger bag of the toys to the
school to be used as prizes
for the Time Out for Read
ing Program. Because there
were more Beanie Babies
than were needed for prizes,
teacher Janie Allen sug
gested that the remainder
be given to the hospital.
Claire eagerly agreed and
presented them to the hospi
tal last Friday. The toys will
be given to children who are
ambulance and emergency
room patients.
“ We a p p re c ia te
Claire’s kindness and gen
erosity. Receiving medical
care can sometimes be a
stressful experience, and
her donation will help pro
vide comfort to our younger
p atien ts,” said M orrow
County Health District ad
ministrator and CEO Mike
Blauer.
