The Grinch had no chance to steal Christmas; he got schooled by some adorable first graders in Westhampton Beach recently.

WESTHAMPTON BEACH, NY — The Grinch didn't have a chance to steal Christmas in Westhampton Beach, thanks to some adorable first graders.
Westhampton Beach Elementary School first-graders have been on a mission to teach the Grinch how to be kind and have a loving heart, the district said.
Students have been writing kind thoughts on red paper hearts that are displayed on a hallway bulletin board.
