More Blessed To Give Than Receive...

If you happened to walk by the 4th grade hallway on Monday, November 22, you saw busy students organizing beautiful giftbags. Along with caring parents, teachers, students and an ISES community, 150 giftbags were filled with such items as Kleenex, Chapstick, shampoo, lotion, socks, and Little Debbie cakes. The 4th grade teachers will deliver the gifts to Greystone Health Care Center during Thanksgiving break. Our hearts have been touched, we shall never be the same, our efforts have sent a powerful message: It is certainly more blessed to give than receive. Thank you to ALL who helped this project become a reality!!

Thanks to Mrs. Mains for contributing this post!
