Practical Nursing student collects hats and gloves for children in need

Heather Grove (Beatrice), (right) a Practical Nursing student, conducted a hat and glove drive for CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate). Her efforts resulted in a collection of 182 items for this program, including over 90 pairs of gloves. The Gage county program currently serves over 40 children.
