Mrs. Pouplikollas and the Hellenic Club want to extend their enormous thanks to the GBS Faculty and Staff who adopted a "Letter to Santa" from an under-privileged child: "We excelled way beyond our own expectation and that of the New Field School in Chicago that will be receiving our packages. They made 4 trips here on Wednesday, Dec 10th, and are going to have to make one more on Friday to finally pick-up the hundreds of beautifully wrapped gifts. We had a faculty member single handedly adopt 15 letters and another donate boxes of new trinkets that the students of the Hellenic Club worked hours to organize and wrap. Due to the wonderful generosity of all we had a spectacular inaugural year. We also raised hundreds of dollars to help fund Direct Effect Charities in Northbrook that spearheads not only the "Letters to Santa" project but many ventures all year. Give yourself a pat on the back GBS for a job that warms not only the recipient but also the donor."
