Kindness In Action

Service Project: Stewart Library Winter Drive

Students first learned about community needs, winter safety, and how cold weather affects people who do not have adequate clothing. Through classroom discussions, they explored why coats, gloves, hats, and blankets are essential for staying healthy and safe during the winter. Students also learned about kindness, empathy, and how small actions can make a big difference for others.

After building this understanding, students applied their learning by participating in a winter clothing and blanket drive in partnership with the Stewart Library. They brought in clean, gently used coats, gloves, hats, scarves, and blankets from home and helped collect them in the classroom each morning. At the end of the week, all donated items were delivered to the donation area on the first floor of the Stewart Library, where they could be shared with members of the community in need.

Through this service project, students experienced how learning about compassion and responsibility can turn into meaningful action that helps others.
