Local students learn
the true meaning of
Christmas

In
the cafeteria of the Marstons
Mills East Horace Mann Charter
Public School on Tuesday there
was the happy din of bustling children ,
the enc'ouraging voices of watchful
teachers, and the whir of sewing ma-
chines.
Sewing machines?
On Tuesday more than 100 third-
graders at the school got a little lesson
in sewing and a big lesson in the true
meaning of Christmas as they made
dozens of tiny fleece hats.
When the project began more than
a decade ago, the hats were made for
children at the Dana Farbf.r Cancer
Center in Boston in honor of a class-
mate then battling cancer.
Today the hat making continues
but now the caps are sent to A Baby
Center and Angel House in Hyannis to
warm the heads of wee ones during the
colder winter months. "It'sjust kind of
fun," said Nick Johnson. "Some people
can't afford hats."
Throughout the morning students
from each of the five third grade
classes made their way through five
stations: fabric choosing, sewing ma-
chines (operated by adult volunteers),
tacking edges and button sewing, mak-
ing pom-poms, and attaching tags.
Shaylyn Frazel, 8, enjoyed the proj-
ect so much she made several hats,
including one for a project observer.
"I like sewing," she said. "It's kind of
good to help the babies."
Because her friend , Brittany McKin-
non, was absent, Autumn Eldredge , 9,
made a special hat for her, as well as
one for herself and one for a baby.
Once they had completed a baby
, hat, they were allowed to make one
for themselves. "The kids are more
excited about making baby hats than
their own," said teacher Lynn Corsino.
"It's nice to do something that's fun
once in a while."
New to the school, Corsino had been
hearing about the hat making since
September and was enjoying her in-
augural event. "I am so excited to find
out about it because it's all everyone
talked about from the start ," she said.
"They are so giving at this school it's
amazing."
"It's so easy to lose the focus of the
holidays," said volunteer Ann Ger-
man, whose son is in third grade at the
school. "Christmas is a time of giving
rather than receiving."

A BANNER MOMENT - Already adorned for the Centerville
Christmas Stroll,the Knight home on Main Street was the perfect
place for former Centerville resident Brett Gilmore to propose
to his girlfriend, Melissa Marandino of New Hartford , Conn.
THEIREYESALLAGLOW -Celebrating
their official engagement following
his memorable proposal , Brett
Gilmore and Melissa Marandino
savor a moment by the tree at the
Knight home in Centerville.
Annual event was banner
moment for proposal

B
rett Gilmore and Melissa Marandino had been
dating long enough to know one another well.
Well enough that Marandino was anticipating
a proposal after the holidays. Well enough that she
believed that Gilmore being able to surprise her was
highly unlikely.
Apparently, Marandino didn't know Gilmore as well
as she thought. He had a little secret tucked away.
During the Gilmore family's annual celebration in
the midst of the Centerville Christmas Stroll Sunday,
Gilmore, who grew
up in Centerville ,
revealed a special
gift for Marandino ,
who is originally
from New Hartford ,
Conn.
Gilmore had cre-
ated a red and white
banner that he'd
hung on the front
of the Knight home
on Main Street that
read, "Will U Marry
Me Honey Bear?"
Admittedly sur-
prised, Marandino
took a moment to tell him, "Yes." When she did, he
slipped a beautiful , glittering ring on her hand.
Enlisting the help of his mother, as well as Eric
and Marin Knight , Gilmore felt that the Centerville
Stroll would be a perfectly romantic event at which
to ask the question. "1came up with the idea around
Thanksgiving, once I knew I wanted to propose ," he
said. "And the Centerville stroll has been a long tradi-
tion within our family as we always attend. "
He also knew Marandino wouldn't be expecting the
proposal that night at all.
She wasn't. "He had me thrown completely off,"
said Marandino , still reeling from the big moment.
"Which is pretty hard to do."
The couple , who live in Charlestown , are planning a
summer 2008 wedding on Cape Cod and will be look-
ing for a locale after the holidays.
Sweet surprise
