Helping others is always a good thing! As the President of our School Student Council, I decided that it was time our school took action on the needy. So, around Christmas time, our school adopted a family in Baltimore. We asked all the kids to bring in anywhere from 1-5 dollars. Everyone was real happy to do it. We even had a hallway display showing which class had brought in the most money. At the end of the week we counted up all the money. It totalled up to $500 dollars!! So then the Student Council hit the Mall. We bought toys and clothes for this needy family. We even bought them a gift certificate for a local food store. Everyone felt really good about helping the less fortunate. See, even kids can make a difference!!
