SERVICE LEARNING PROJECT

I wanted to share with you what 3rd grade was able to do for Hendricks County Healthy Families. With your help, lots of items were donated. In the meantime, we wrote "Advice from a third grader..." Our students took some time to think about things parents have to do to take care of young children. Guaranteed to put a smile on some parent's faces, the students then gave their advice. Finally, we took what was donated in each 3rd grade class and sorted it all in the science lab. Then we created "home visit bags". Each bag had at least 5 items in it; anything from blankets to outlet covers and diapers to pacifiers. We were able to help 45 familes with newborn children by putting together 45 home visit bags!!
What a great opportunity to help people right here in our county.
Thank you all for your support!
