Every year the fifth grade students lead the school in a community service project. This year, they coordinated a collection to benefit Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago, Illinois. PTA volunteers and fifth grade teachers guided students in planning and implementing every aspect of the community service project. Students wrote and gave public service announcements every morning. They decorated and displayed posters throughout the school.
They decorated and distributed donation boxes to every classroom and our school office. The service project focused on making and collecting fleece blankets and craft activity kits for the children who are staying at the hospital.
Each day, fifth grade students collected, sorted and tallied the donations then announced what had been donated by each grade level during the lunch hour. This certainly made for a friendly competition and lots of cheering by each grade level team!

We are very proud of our fifth grade students' leadership on this special project. This will certainly bring many smiles and much comfort to many children at Lurie Children's Hospital.
