Project Update
A Time for Giving
The week before break, our Community partner from Love Chapel came and spoke with the students. She explained the history and purpose behind Love Chapel. She has let us know that the biggest needs this season are canned goods, boxes of dry food, and grocery bags. Love Chapel goes through 1,000's of bags each week. Our project managers are designing flyers and working on what this will look like for our grade and our school.

We have 1st Grade Buddies most Friday afternoons. The Friday before break, the 4th graders taught the 1st Graders an addition game called, "Roll a Turkey!' When they finished, they all enjoyed a treat while reading Fall and Thanksgiving books.
