Over the past six years, the Shark Tooth Woodshop Class from St. Louis High School has been crafting and giving elementary students in Gratiot County toys made out of wood in their shop class. Today, Pine Students was the school that hit the 10,000 gift mark. We appreciate the generosity of the St. Louis School District in ensuring all our students at Pine Avenue had a gift to unwrap today. Thank you students from the Shark Tooth Woodshop Class.
