Mrs. L Prado's class participated in a Class Service Project for the #IWILLFOR911DAY, which looks back at 9/11 as the day that every one united to help one another. They were asked to think of someone they wanted to perform a good deed for and chose Malcolm, one of our janitors. The kids went above and beyond to clean their classroom as a way to say thank you to him. They also found out what snacks and drinks Malcolm likes. He was given these snacks along with a card signed by each student in class. The class was surprised when they found out Malcolm was from New York City! He shared his story of 9/11 with the class.
Mrs. Prado wants to say how proud she is of her class and how kind hearted each and every one of them is!
The class wants to continue doing class service projects throughout the year because they loved the feeling they got when they did this for Malcolm.
During lunchtime today, the Hope Squad organized an engaging and successful event that drew many students. The attendees had a blast participating in enjoyable games and activities!
