Erin Armstrong spent Tuesday morning passing out T-shirts that resembled the Chicago flag outside of the High Ridge YMCA.

“We’ve worked very closely with these kids; it’s heartbreaking that they’re being moved,” said Armstrong, a preschool teacher with Philip Rogers Fine Arts Elementary School. “They’ve really gotten comfortable here and are just a part of the family. They felt very comfortable at school and we were excited to get ready for the summer and the fall with them.”
