From Our "Houses" to the Common Pantry

The entire first grade came together for a community service project and celebration. The children made sandwiches for the New York Common Pantry to distribute to people in need during Thanksgiving week. Some of the money raised during the grade-wide Walk-a-Thon was used to purchase the sandwich materials.
Sandwiches were placed in paper bags decorated with Thanksgiving pictures and messages. The grade met as a group in the gym to celebrate and reflect on the path that led to the gathering. Each child shared a word that represented his or her experience. Helping, giving, family, caring and proud were expressed. After What’s Your Word? activity, an adapted version of Michael Jackson's Man in the Mirror (Kid in the Mirror), led by Justin was enjoyed by all.
