Students for Education, a group at this school dedicated to promoting literacy among the less fortunate, is working to ensure that all the children at Coburn Safe Place in Indianapolis will have presents for the holidays.

“Members will be working in teams to purchase presents for their assigned child,” Ivy Yan, club president and junior, said. “We want to make sure that all the kids down at Coburn get something for Christmas this year.”

According to Yan, club members got their assignments at the Nov. 24 meeting and have until Dec. 8 to turn in their gifts. “We wanted to give members two weekends to get the shopping done,” Yan said. “That way, they’d have more time in case they were busy over Thanksgiving.”

Yan said the club hopes to get each child several gifts for the holidiays. “We’re trying to get them a couple smaller gifts and then something bigger,” Yan said. “Small gifts would be like little toys while the bigger gifts should be some kind of educational game the kids could enjoy.”

Though there were conflicts with school policy earlier in the year, Yan said the club is getting back on its feet. “We plan to have more opportunities for members to get involved next semester,” she said. By Henry Zhu <[email protected]>
