Old Hammondtown School fifth-graders Fiona Payne, Wyatt Churchill, Jacqueline Cobler, and William Lucy hold a banner they helped to make. After hearing the story of her friend's evacuation from Ukraine, teacher Amy Casi invited the students to make banners of hope and support for Ukrainian children. Mrs. Casi's friend, a fellow teacher of fifth-graders at Kyiv International School, left Ukraine during voluntary evacuations and is currently staying in Texas with her family.
