WARSAW — Jefferson Elementary School students got a boost last week as winter weather arrived.

Judy Ness, the owner of Carpet Depot in Warsaw, was one of the winners in an essay contest hosted by Amazon. 

Ness chose to write about the school and the need for winter wear at Jefferson Elementary, and she was one of 135 essay winners.

That resulted in the delivery of new winter wear — 60 coats, 60 hats, and 60 pairs of socks to the school last week.

For Ness, it was something a bit different.

"I just felt it was an opportunity to give to our local schools and part of our local community," Ness said.

She said she was told Amazon plans to host a local luncheon to celebrate the donation.
