Community Service in 5D

During one of my classroom meetings, my students decided they wanted to give back to their community as we were discussing how grateful we are for all that we have.

I helped supported them in planning the fundraiser, communicating the students' plan to their families and our school community, and coordinated the movement of funds to the charity that we collaborated with to buy an assistive bike for a student who otherwise would not have the opportunity to ride a typical bike.

My students were featured in the local newspaper and felt proud that they were able to raise over $1,000 through bake sales, babysitting, helping clean up their neighborhood, and more.
