The class has posters displayed around the school and presented 2 short skits at a recent assembly along with a PowerPoint presentation about the project. A second presentation and skit will be done in an upcoming assembly which will include donation results to-date.
Currently, the donation total is at about $250.00 . The class goal is to reach at least $500.00. There are 6 donation boxes for students and families located at various places in the school (lobby, library, school office, teacher’s lounge, and cafeteria). Through participation in this service-learning project, the students will have opportunities to work toward a common good and goal as they develop a growing sense of social responsibility, personal pride, and develop the students' civic skills and attitudes. According to Mr. Keins, “the children are motivated because it provides a direct opportunity to help other children less fortunate than they.”
