It was really cold. They had hot chocolate for us. And cookies. – Ebony

Hmmm…which part of my body was the coldest? My feet. And my hands. And my face. – Dae

I’m glad I went to help out people who can’t afford to pay for all of these bills. They raised a lot of money to help people out and I am proud that I helped. – Ebony

The 2 Unique Step Team actually stepped out in the cold, too. Ms. Ally’s college roommate came by and saw that Hunter was only wearing a skirt. She had two pairs of pants on so she gave a pair to Hunter. – Ms. Candice
