Giving back to the community

Part of understanding the world around them is to recognize there are people in need not only in the world, but in Chicago as well.  The 7th Grade class created bags of hope for women's shelter here in Chicago.  The students created "Bags of Hope" for those in need.  Each bag was decorated with a message or slogan, such as "HOPE", "LOVE" and "PEACE".  The students added their artistic components and created some wonderful works of art.




The bags, as seen above turned out to be amazing!! The bags were filled with gently used clothing, new baby bottles and new diapers.  Each student added a personal note describing their wishes for those receiving the bags.
