We are so proud of our 2nd Grade classes here at Orchard Hills.  The students all worked together to tie quilts for the Nebo Pantry to help people stay warm.  The blankets were picked up by Mrs. Mason, a social worker from Payson High School, and will be distributed to those in need.   Social worker, Annie Mason said, “I'm so grateful for this thoughtful gift and to the teachers who make this possible: Jenni Coon, Kathy Kelly, Kristen Grimshaw, and Lyndee Holyoak.”  Way to go, Second Grade!
