Mrs. Bernhardt's First Grade: October 14, 2015

Mr. Debrick shared with us a chapel about loving your neighbor, even if that neighbor is a Cub's fan. (or someone who is different or hard to like)

Live Generously for We are Blessed to Serve

FALL SERVICE PROJECT

For our fall party this year our class did a service project and you will need to do the final step at home. Thanks to a generous grant from Thrivent Financial we were able to purchase food and snacks to put together Blessing Bags to give out to those in need.
This is were you get to help out, your child came home with two bags. Please keep them in your car and hand them out when you see the opportunity of people asking for food or money.
Please see the letter in your child's Friday Folder for more information.
Look at the photos from our service party.
(Thrivent also sent a T-shirt for each student!)
