ROCHESTER — Superintendent Kyle Repucci shared that students and staff at McClelland Elementary School, with support from the community, worked together to support families in need this holiday season.

A total of 43 childrens’ families were assisted this year thanks to the program and hard work of students and staff.

The Holiday Help program at McClelland started in 2010, when first grade teacher Davita Fortier and front office secretary Kim Perkins began a program to help families who have trouble making ends meet during the Christmas season.

“My parents went through some tough times when I was young and if it hadn’t been for our church community sponsoring us, we would not have had a Christmas for several years,” Fortier said. “I look at this as paying it forward.”
