Some 6th grade students played cards with the residents at Snyder Village today as part of 6th Grade's monthly community service project.
One, Two, Three, Four....we declare a COIN WAR!
Last week, 5th graders raided piggy banks, checked under couch cushions, and asked mom and dad for money all to fund our service project. This year's fifth grade class voted to raise money to create "Birthday Boxes" for the food pantry, which are kits that include birthday goodies for families that maybe can't afford them. But we never imagined that our 4 classes would raise the amount of money that they did. They raised over $2,000!!! And because they were so very generous in their donations, we may get to fund another of our service project ideas as well.
