Josh came home from school one day and the first words he had were, "I'm not going to the Food Bank on MLK Day". I had no idea what he was talking about but then I looked in his notebook and found the letter from Dr. Bailey and Mr. Daniel about a service project for 3rd-5th grade on MLK Day. I read it and then told Josh, "yes, you are going to the Food Bank". We all met at the Food Bank at 9 am and they assigned us to bag and weigh sweet potatoes. The parents helped weigh; they wanted the bags to be 10 lbs with a tolerance of 9.9 to 10.1 lbs. There may have been a couple of 10.2 lb bags that got through. In addition to our students, there was a group of girls that are part of the G.E.M.S program with the police department. Both groups worked so hard and bagged over 15,000 lbs of potatoes in about 2.5 hours. Emma and Josh had a great time too and enjoyed working alongside their friends.
