My Project

My students will be completing a community service project where they create snack packs to give to community members who are in need. We will have an event where students will create these packs and then bring them around to people in the community. Students will work together to give back to those in need while also doing community outreach. This will help students broaden their world view and give back to others. These packs include many items that will help those in need and fight against hunger. It will inspire students to continue to work in their communities.
