This week the kids at school loaded a school bus with the 4,000+ cans they collected this month for the local food pantry.
I stood back and watched the kids on student council lug the stuff out on whatever wheeled thing they could find on a very cold, damp morning. They worked diligently. They helped each other out. They were so good.
I posted this little video to the school blog, but I think these kids are great and I wanted to share it here, too.
Happy Thanksgiving.
