Dobbins Elementary students donate

Third- and fourth-grade students at Dobbins Elementary School started collecting winter items at the beginning of December for the giving tree. Six bags, five boxes and 21 coats were collected for donation to Mahoning County Children Services. The community service project has been a tradition at the school for over a decade and was a mission of former principal, Mrs. Borovitcky, who set things in motion.
