Mr. Spy's 3rd Grade Girls Learn to Give Back!


Mr. Spy’s 3rd Grade girls were so very excited to see Lauren again and to participate in meaningful community service.  Lauren did a great job outlining what it means to be part of a community and the responsibilities community members have to each other. Before Lauren’s visit, the girls had already decided they wanted to give back to our school community they by purchasing a planter and filling it with beautiful flowers to brighten up everyone’s day.  They we so eager to plant their flowers and hung their “3rd Grade Girls” sign proudly on the planter.   Every time they walk by their planter they are reminded that their efforts helped make the school yard more cheerful for everyone. 


To culminate our experience, the girls reflected on what it means to show compassion for themselves, to community members and  to the environment we share.  We compiled a list of different ways in which we could accomplish this, which included picking up litter and recycling. They challenged each other to do at least one thing each week that can benefit another community member. Great job College Champions!
