6th Graders Thinking and Acting for Others

6th graders had a busy week raising money and collecting needed items for others. The week began with a bake sale, with 100% of the profits going to Giving Green and 4ocean. They baked and sold an amazing array of cookies, cupcakes, rice krispie treats, brownies, and more. In the end, they raised over $100 to donate to Giving Green and 4ocean, two causes dear to their hearts because of all of the learning they have done about ocean life and climate change.

This year in world geography class the 6th graders learned about the many challenges faced by refugees throughout the world. Moved by the spirit of giving, they collected personal hygiene and cleaning products to donate to the local branch of the International Rescue Committee.

Many thanks to everyone who helped them do for others!
