A graduate from the class of 2020 of the Newtown Harris School District received a surprise Thursday morning.
Hannah Garcia was presented with her high school class ring that went missing this summer while on a trip with her family to a beach at Thousand Hills State Park west of Kirksville. She reportedly lost the ring while swimming near the shoreline and thought she had lost it forever.
Last week, while on a home-school hiking trip to Thousand Hills State Park, Irene Fox of Lancaster and her six-year-old son Zander came across an item in the sand. After cleaning it up, they discovered the ring had local ties and contacted the school in Newtown-Harris.
Superintendent Matt Copeland said Hannah Garcia and the community extended their appreciation to Irene Fox and her son for their act of kindness.
