Wanting to make a difference just as Gerda Weissmann-Klein had challenged, the 8th grade Gifted English classes at Colonial Middle School split into groups and organized different community service projects.
Targeting those who are hungry, their service projects include Peanut Butter and Jam sandwich making- a nutritious way to donate food. A monthly, non-perishable food drive will also take place during February, March and April. The food will be donated to Colonial Neighborhood Council. Creating packed lunches for those who leave the Salvation Army shelter to work or go to school during the day is another on-going project. Lastly, hygiene packs, which include toothpaste, a toothbrush, and other personal care items such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, razors, etc., are being assembled to donate to shelters.
We also have a Public Service Announcement on our website. Here is the link:
