Todd Gerhardt of the Ice Cream Boat at Bohicket Marina has come up with a creative way to engage school children in a way to help Backpack Buddies, which in turn helps them. He brought 300 holiday tree bulb ornaments to Angel Oak, Frierson and Mt. Zion schools to have the children paint decorations on them. Then the bulbs have been returned to Todd who is selling them for 3/$10 at the Ice Cream Boat. All profits go to Backpack Buddies. What a win/win project!
