Throughout April & May, 7th Grade Success students worked on Service Learning projects. They started by researching what they saw as important issues in their communities, creating proposals to share with the class. Each class voted on the proposals and chose a topic to focus on. One group selected homelessness, and the other chose conservation & litter.
Homelessness
Students held Penny Wars for one week, challenging grade levels to complete against each other while raising funds. Students raised more than $260, which was used to purchase materials to make bags containing personal care items. Students worked within the budget to select products to make 50 total care kits. Each kit included a drawstring backpack, toothbrush, toothpaste, 2-in-1 shampoo/ conditioner, body wash, body wipes, and deodorant. Care kits were donated to the Mooresville Soup Kitchen to be utilized by their Homelessness Assistance Program.
Conservation & Litter
Students reached out to their teachers to request donations of old t-shirts. The t-shirts were used to make reusable shopping bags, which were made available for "purchase" by trading in 10 plastic grocery bags. The plastic grocery bags were utilized as part of the ongoing "plarning" service project started by the Upper School, weaving sleeping mats for the homeless. Students also planned & participated in campus clean ups, spending two 45 minute class periods picking up litter on our K-12 campus.
Thank you all for your support of these Middle School Success Service Learning projects. The students have made a difference in our community, here at PLP and in the Mooresville area!
