Reaching Out to the Community

On Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, many students in kindergarten through fifth grade came to school with their families and teachers to participate in the Second Annual Spirit of Giving Morning. Over 112 volunteers decorated and filled popcorn tins for Meals on Wheels, prepared lasagna for St. Mary's Roland View Towers and sandwiches for Corpus Christi’s Soup Kitchen, created activity packages for the Brightwood Retirement Community, baked casseroles for Our Daily Bread, assembled craft kits for the Ronald McDonald House and birthday boxes for the St. Vincent's Center, and made blankets for animals at the ASPCA. The prior evening, some families also cooked a meal and served it to residents at the Westminster Rescue Mission. The service project was a complete success and a wonderful opportunity for teachers, parents, and students to work together to help people in need.
