The Amity Farm, Garden, and Craft Club at Amity Middle School in Orange ran a “Stockings for Soldiers” drive during the month of December for the servicemen and women at the West Haven Veteran’s Hospital. AMSO collected over 600 items and filled 57 stockings. Each stocking or gift bag was filled with a toothbrush, toothpaste, DVD, bar of soap, pair of socks and gloves, assorted snacks, gum and candy. This is the 14th year AMSO has sponsored this drive. Front row, from left: Sophia Corey, Lorena Ejlli, Julia Capecelatro, Alexandra Wyskiel and Katherine Watts.
