Anne Frank held its first Caring Food Drive just before the winter break, in which the Kindergarten classes played a very important role. We could not be more proud of their hard work, commitment, and display of empathy. Kindergarten students were responsible for counting food donations and then adding tally marks to class recording sheets. Not only did our class put our math skills to practical use and donate a tremendous amount of food to those in need, they were also overheard discussing the reason behind the donations. Students were heard saying: "I brought food for people who cannot buy their own food". "I went to Sobey's and picked out this food because some people don't have a lot of food". "I feel happy because I am helping families". "Look at all this food, I bet it will make lots of families feel good".
Students continue to show the same empathy with our Keep Olaf Warm Campaign. Thank you to everyone who has donated and for all the conversations you continue to have with your children to help them understand the reasoning behind these important initiatives.
