Fourth Grade Presents Check to Food Lifeline
Today, the Villa Academy fourth grade had the honor of presenting representatives from Food Lifeline with a donation check for the amount of $668.58. The money was raised at an annual fundraiser hosted by the fourth grade students as part of their yearlong service project.
Prior to presenting the check, four student representatives stood as a group and shared heartfelt sentiments about their experience as volunteers for Food Lifeline. The students each read a letter expressing what this service project meant to them personally, and some mentioned how it had helped them to reflect on their own blessings.
This special opportunity was the culmination of the fourth grade’s yearlong efforts. Several trips to Food Lifeline to help sort and package food donations and the sale of handmade ceramic bowls at the “Empty Bowls Soup Dinner” preceded today’s special event.
Food Lifeline graciously accepted the donation with much appreciation and reminded students that this donation alone would be enough to provide over 2,600 meals!
