The 5th grade members of the National Elementary Honor Society (NEHS) are excited to embark on impactful service projects this spring, and we are seeking your support to make these efforts a success.
Inspired by the Time For Kids Service Stars mission, my scholars will engage in community service, develop leadership skills, and address the dire need to address hunger amongst our school community.
With resources purchased from this project, scholars will assemble food bags to support families identified as needing assistance through a recent needs survey. In addition, scholars will work toward long-term solutions by writing letters to local restaurants to inquire about their handling of excess food and encourage them to consider making donations. They will also reach out to grocery stores, requesting their support in collecting nonperishable items for a community pantry at our school. The Sharpies and posterboard will be used to make signs for the food drive if we can convince a grocery store to participate.
Thank you in advance for supporting our efforts! Your support enhances the lives of not only my scholars who are building service and leadership skills, but the families who will benefit from the food pantry as well.
