Holiday Season of Sharing

Lewistown #97 - Jeanne Davis LHS students rang the Salvation Army bell at the Lewistown County Market and students sold stocking ornaments for the holiday tree in the LHS Commons to benefit the LHS Christmas Fund.

Decatur Unit #61 - Gloria Davis 5 th graders from Dennis Lab School delivered project- based instruction in every classroom and these 5 th graders worked on a project called “Giving Back.” They had eight different volunteer projects in our community leading up to the holiday season. Students worked on…

1. Coat drive; 2. Pet project; 3. Handmade Christmas cards for our friends at Lincoln Rehab and placemats for The Good Samaritan Inn; 4. Adopted a kettle from the Salvation Army for the 125th year anniversary; 5. School Food drive to help Northeast Community Fund; 6. Making "emergency kits" for the homeless; 7. Angel Tree; 8. Linus Blanket. This group will actually make a blanket for the Linus project so a sick child will receive their blanket.

Skokie Fairview #72 - Dr. Cindy Whittaker Fairview School District #72 hosted a Thanksgiving Dinner for the community. The school of 675 students ended up feeding nearly 600 children, parents and community members at no charge.
