Dear Wedgwood Families,
Last Tuesday evening the boys and I participated in a Wedgwood community service
project at Food Lifeline in Shoreline. We had a great time packaging over a thousand
pounds of corn flakes into 788 individual family size portions. The children had the
opportunity to scoop, bag, twisty tie, and send the bags of cereal “down the river” on the conveyer belt where parent volunteers packaged the bags in preparation for distribution to food banks around the area. The children got up on crates to reach the tables and stayed on task for about an hour and a half! We had a great time with Kenji L,David and Liam S., Spencer and Stella O., Gracie L., Kelley B., Kailin S., Kaelen and Tristan M. and their parents.
Community service activities are a great way to spend time with your children while at the same time teaching the value of helping others and realizing the greater world around themselves.
If you are interested in getting involved our next event is May 1st at the Play Garden from 10am to 12. Please RSVP to Kelly Otis, our parent volunteer that has been coordinating these fabulous events (rileyroootis@aol.com).
Hope to see you soon!
