Struthers students, parents joined by gingerbread

STRUTHERS

A longtime holiday tradition continued this year for fourth-graders and their families at Struthers Elementary School, 520 Ninth St.

Students built gingerbread houses while in class over the week, and decorated them using supplies their parents brought from home.

“It’s an opportunity for students to interact with parents for the holidays,” Principal Dennis Hynes said Wednesday.

There are 130 students in the fourth-grade class that were all together in the cafeteria. With six classes in that grade, the teachers planned and organized the event.

“It’s one of the few things they look forward to before moving on to middle school,” Hynes said.
