October is National Dog Adoption Month for the Humans Society!
In preparation for that, our class will be making dog toys to donate to the Yavapai Humane Society.
Want to help out more? We will have a box in our classroom to collect any YHS wishlist items the people would like to donate as well.
If you would like to donate old t-shirts or new tennis balls for the project, it will help us make even more toys!
October 2019
This month we will be providing service to people in other countries as we celebrate United Countries Day this month.
Our students are part of a community at school, part of of local and state ommuniy, and members of our country's community,
but they are also realizing that they are members of a larger, world cmmunity.
We will be packing first aid supply bags that we will ship to an organization called Sole Hope that makes shoes for people in Afirca who need them.
Shoes are very important for these people and can prevent painful foot ailments.
**Note: Sole Hope requests that we donate $3 per kit we send to them
to cover the cost of shipping, and distribution, so monetary donations to this project are appreciated.**

Our students will write letters to deployed soldiers that will be sent to them through Operation Gratitude.
Writing letters to deplyed members of the service not only provides encouagement to our troops,
but also helps our students reflect upon the freedoms that they enjoy and appreciate those past and present
who have made that possible.

Childen who are hospitalized son't have the social opportunities of other children and often don't have the opportunity to exchange holiday cards,
