The Preteen class had their fall workday at Michaux Manor. There were 18 preteen students who participated. It went great! First they cleaned up the gardens, weeding, and bagging dead summer flowers. Then they went indoors and made a Thanksgiving favor for each resident to put at their place in the cafeteria. The kitchen workers treated us to hot chocolate and donuts as a surprise. We ended up at Brothers' Pizza for lunch. The whole day was really a blast. Not too cold. Not too hot. Juuust right!!!
A “story time quilt” was completed by students and friends of CrossWalk Church for Rescue Children Orphanage in Haiti. The project began back in May when students in CrossWalk Kids each designed a square which included their name and drawings of things each child considered important to them. During this time the class learned about the country of Haiti, and was particularly impressed by the poverty, hunger, malnutrition, and AIDS with which this island nation contends. Wishing to do a small part to help, the class connected with Rescue Children Orphanage, and the quilt project was born.
