We had the most amazing experience at Gleaners food bank today! A big thanks to Ms. Brenner, Ms. Motlagh, and Mr, Hardy for joining us on this great community service trip.  I am so proud of our class. We formed an assembly line and prepared 170 backpacks of food for children to take home on the weekend from school. Our class is amazing! Enjoy the video of our assembly line.

It was the BEST day ever! My favorite trip is going to visit with the Seniors at BAASC! The kids did the best job and brought sunshine to the seniors today.
