Yesterday, approx 20 students from Lakewood Christian School's 4th grade spent 2 hours volunteering at Shared Blessings. They sorted and hung clothes, straightened and cleaned, help check out shoppers and packed Nutrition Club bags. There is something very special about students packing up bags of food for other students in the community. The students were eager to work and help make a difference in other people's lives. They learned about how easy it is to take the necessities of life for granted and the struggles that others face.
We are grateful that teachers like Kristie Daniel realize that education comes from more than just a textbook. We are grateful for each student and their efforts. It is in serving one another that we learn humility, compassion and gratefulness.
