Deborah McCann, first-grade teacher at Cape Girardeau's Franklin Elementary School pictured at right in the photo above, was thrilled watching her students putting on their new hats and gloves provided by the Cape Target store recently. "Target is so generous," she said. "Their staff delivered enough gift bags for every first-grader at Franklin, and the kids loved it." The gift bags contained a hat, gloves and three snacks. McCann said the children wore their hats while writing thank-you notes to Target.
