Caring and Sharing Baskets for Catholic Charities

Middle School students and teachers filled 28 laundry baskets with food, toys, books, school supplies, toiletries and just fun stuff to give to families who are less fortunate. Students were told to reflect on things they were thankful for and show their appreciation for what they have, by donating items to a family in need. They were told to be creative and resourceful…and they went beyond their assignment! The baskets were overflowing with goods and they were beautifully decorated.

6th Grade teacher, Mrs. Lisa Mah, who organized the activity sent this message to MS teachers and her words say it all.

“Thank you ALL for the beautifully filled baskets this morning! The representatives from Catholic Charities were truly in awe and grateful. The power of giving is remarkable…..thank you for instilling that value in your students.”

Thank you Mrs. Mah and WAY TO GO MIDDLE SCHOOL!!!
