Sixth Graders Make A Difference
Posted on Nov 09, 2009
Our hardworking Sixth Grade students experienced a meaningful three days learning more about themselves, how they can make a difference in the lives of others, and accepting God’s call “to take the bread” and serve His people. During Project LEADS, the students went to Lake Forest Elementary School and built a butterfly garden, scraped and painted picnic tables, and painted a human checkerboard for the children to use. At Long Branch Elementary, playground equipment and picnic tables were painted, a butterfly garden was made and a general cleanup of the grounds was accomplished. Thanks to our Riverside families’ tremendous response to “Make a Difference,” Sixth Graders spent hours sorting clothing and books in support of those less fortunate. The clothing will be given to children and adults at Sulzbacher Center, The Sanctuary, DESC, and Long Branch Elementary. Profits from the Book Sale will be given to the Sulzbacher Center and unsold books will be donated to Catholic Charities. A group of our sixth graders also went shopping for toys and delivered them to Sulzbacher Center. In addition, everyone helped Riverside Presbyterian Church setup and run the game booths for their carnival Wednesday night. Congratulations on a job well done, Sixth Graders!
