Editor's Note: Bravo to LP Quinn Elementary School! Imagine the intergenerational, sensitive and creative conversations generated by this initiative. More than money was raised. Awareness. Emotional support for children who have experienced the death of a loved one. Ethics of donating time, energy, money. Community outreach. More; so much more. Thank you, LP Quinn Elementary School and High Peaks Hospice!
