Halloween Goody Bags - We  filled 95 goody bags with candy and toys and handmade cards and donated them to Blythdale Children's Hospital.  

 

Soldier Letter Writing Campaign - We met with Mr. Sanchez, who just returned from an 18 month deployment, who told us of his experience and how we could support the troops.  We then wrote holiday letters and cards and collected toiletries to send to the troops.

 

Service Dog - We met with Molly and her human partner from READ, who reads with elementary age children, and learned how animals contribute to our wellbeing. 

 

Open Arms Shelter- Girl Scout Ali Tretter worked with our students to prepare delicious sedimentary rock cookies for the men at Open Arms Shelter in White Plains. We had to taste them first to make sure they were good!

 

Nursing Home - We decorated placements for nursing home residents to brighten their meal.

 

Meals on Wheels - we made tray favors for meals on wheels

 

Spring Cleanup - We had a great time cleaning up garbage from the outside of the school, and then had a big party to celebrate!
