Bellefontaine Middle School students in Ric Prine’s class are giving back during the holidays, with bears made by each pupil that will benefit Dolls of Hope. The organization delivers bears and dolls to children in refugee camps and those in crisis in the United States and around the world. Dolls of Hope believes that children everywhere deserve to have a toy to cherish. Speech language pathologist Amanda Hecker assisted the students. Paraprofessional Susan Gleason sewed each bear. Mr. Prine teaches language arts and math to sixth- through eighth- graders. (BELLEFONTAINE SCHOOLS PHOTO)
