Our
class took part in a national service project where students create "hope
chests" for children in hospitals, foster homes, or homeless shelters.
Each student brought 3-5 items (small toys, art supplies, books, etc.) with
which to fill ten shoeboxes that we decorated in class. Students also
created personalized cards to include in the shoeboxes especially for the child
who would be receiving the gift. Our holiday hope chests were delivered to
Children's Hospital of Michigan.
