Do you and your child volunteer?

I love to celebrate giving back and getting involved in the classroom.  I do this biweekly with "Caught Doing Good" - a program that highlights a service organization and shares it with the class.  I do this in lieu of weekly parent readers.

Last year, we learned about the Atlanta Food Bank, Locks of Love, a Women's Day Shelter, the Great Pyrenees Rescue, Boys Scouts and a few other great organizations. 

We also fund raised for our sister school, Mimosa Elementary, Relay for Life, and the Atlanta Food Bank.  My class raised $250.25 for Mimosa, 120+ donations for the Food Bank, and students and parents raised almost $600 in addition to my pledge of $250- a total close to $1000!!

Let me know what you do together and how you would like to share with the class!
