For the last few years, I've assigned my sixth graders a community service project; just something small to ignite in them an appreciation for giving back.
They've done some incredible things--from collecting food and blankets, to donating books and clothes. One student purchased a stranger's groceries one year with the money he'd earned cleaning shelves at the grocery store. There have been lots of neighbors who have had their lawns raked and mowed for free, and tons of trash picked up in the Colerain area.
In an attempt to reach these technology savvy kids this year, I'm making them blog about their service--short and sweet and with a photo.
This sweet little angel posted last night. I am filled with joy.
