7th Grade Stewardship

Seventh graders are tackling the issue of hunger this year as their service project. They collected canned goods and other non-perishables in November and then delivered them to New Hope Apartments. While there they learned about what happens at New Hope and how their efforts help the community. Also in November they spent a day at Midwest Food Bank where they packed 4800 cans in an hour. Students then wrote reflections on service in their community. Below is a poem by 7th grader, Marcus Ice.

 In One Day

In one day

Many people touched

Feeding the people who need it  

In one day

Putting smiles

On the hurt

And struggling

In one day

Putting your feet

In others shoes

Who are more unfortunate 

Than you

In one day

A deed is made

And our service dedicates us

To help them

In one day

Lives are changed

Emotions, happy, joyful, surprised

Are all glowing

In one day

The sun lights up

Like the people

We have helped

In one day

The work is done

Surprising the unfortunate

In one day.
