On Tuesday, February 3rd, Miss K’s 8th grade advisory students worked together to assemble self-care and hygiene bags to donate to The Open Hearth Men’s Shelter in Hartford. Using funds raised during last month’s dress-down day, the students were able to create 24 care packages.
These students led every step of the project—from planning the dress-down day and designing posters to advertise it, to creating the shopping list for the care packages. I am incredibly proud of their hard work, leadership, and compassion, and it was wonderful to see how happy and fulfilled they felt while giving back to their community.
Thank you to everyone who helped support this effort. The students shared how meaningful this project was for them, and how good it felt to help those in need.
