SERVICE LEARNING PROJECT NEWS (sent home also)
April 27, 2010
Dear Families,
Each year the students in my classroom complete a Service Learning Project to go along with our Character Education lessons throughout the year. The buckaroos and I have decided on a food bank project.
Students who are able to participate in our project will prepare a meal for the food bank distribution night on May 5, 2010 from 5:00-6:00 p.m. at the Assembly of God Church.
Our class has met and determined that the meal will be a Cinco de Mayo theme consisting of: Enchilada casserole, Spanish rice, tortilla chips, and various desserts. Each student is a member of a team who will help organize and prepare for this special day.
In addition, students have agreed to donate an item(s) to make this possible. Below, your child has listed what they would like for their family to consider donating. Please do not feel obligated, however I would like for you to send a note if it is not possible so that I can ensure we have our ingredients.
I would like for my family to donate: _____________________________________________________
Please send your donated item no later than May 4th. If it requires refrigeration, please ask that your buckaroo deliver it directly to our classroom upon arriving at school.
Students participating in the set up, preparation, and serving of the meal should have a bus note indicating that they should ride the Kid's Cafe' bus on May 5th. Parents should pick their child up by 6:15 p.m. Please sign the note below if you agree to this project for your child and return it no later than May 3, 2010.
I appreciate your generous donations and your support in making this a meaningful learning experience about the impact of Service Learning.
