The students read essays and poems and donated food and toys to those in need. Reporters from the Canarsie Courier were in attendance. The students were accompanied by Ms. T. Hall and Ms. Brathwaite. Here they are in their T-shirts at the facility.
I spoke to the students when they returned and asked them a few questions. It was clear that they were sincerely touched by the experience, especially given this time of year and the implications for holiday celebrations. Most students expressed gratitude for what they have and stated that it was an eye-opening opportunity which would allow them to be more appreciative of their blessings.
Congratulations to the Eighth Grade Team for being the first to complete their community service project! Still to come: The Sixth Graders' coat drive and the Seventh Graders' food drive.
