WHITWELL, Tenn. (AP) - Whitwell Middle School students hoped to collect 6 million paper clips - one to remember each person killed in the Holocaust.
But as word of the school project spread, people all over the world started sending paper clips to the small town in southeast Tennessee, more paper clips than they could have imagined.
The seventh- and eighth-graders have gathered 30 million paper clips since the project began in 1998, many accompanied by grateful letters from Holocaust survivors.
Go to the above link for the rest of the story..........
This is something I think is worth seeing. The story was featured today on the Jane Pauley show and these kids and their teachers deserve a standing ovation for what they have done.
