3rd Grade Eagles in Action 2022
Our school theme verse this year is Making Disciples for Life from Matthew 28:19-20. Eagles in Action service projects will give us all the opportunity to live that verse this year and in training for life as followers of Jesus. During this school year, 3rd grade will use chapel offerings we collect in August and September to purchase food and non-food items each month for the LaGrange Area Food Pantry. Snap or Link cards don’t cover items like toothpaste, shampoo, soap, deodorant, toilet paper, or diapers. So each month, we’ll focus on one non-food item to buy and donate. We also use a portion of the money each month to purchase sale items like cereals, pastas, and canned goods. Thank you for helping us serve in our community, and grow in our faith as disciples of Jesus.
