Over the last two weeks the Service Learning Club worked to
promote and collect holiday letters for United States Soldiers who are serving
our country. We also collected
spare change in each classroom in our “Cents for Sandy” campaign to collect
money for the people on the East Coast who were affected by Hurricane
Sandy. We promoted the letters and
change drive during the morning announcements and made posters for our school
hallways for both collections. We
decorated and distributed jars for our coin collections, and we wrote sample
letters to soldiers for the classroom teachers. This week we collected the letters and put decorative
stickers on them and tied them with ribbons for the soldiers. Service learning
club works together to help people all over the world. For example the club
helps people that were effected by powerful weather, people that can’t afford
enough food to feed their family, and they send caring letters to the soldiers
who are protecting our country.
