Today, 21 very excited students from 6B went off campus for their first service afternoon of the school year. Students volunteered making school kits at the MCC Warehouse, sorting food at the Food Bank, and visiting with seniors at Menno Home and Tabor Court. This is a photo of one of our groups outside of Menno Home today. I accompanied this group this week, and it was a blessing to see them interact with the residents. They learned a lot about the facility and had the opportunity to meet and visit with various residents during a jazz concert. They also helped escort residents to and from the program. It was wonderful to see the joy on their faces after an afternoon helping others. The students really enjoyed the time, and I heard comments like, "That was so fun!" and "I hope I get to see the same resident again next time!" In three weeks, we will be visiting Menno home again, and this time the students will have a little more responsibility as they help with the activities. The boys can't wait to help with bowling! Thank you also to all of the parents who provided transportation and supervision. What a great way to spend the afternoon!
