Back to School also means back to school for me as well. I have been volunteering at a local elementary school in my area. I'm actually a liason between my church and 4 elementary schools. My church has an amazing community outreach program that I have the priviledge of being a part of. As of today I have 9 outstanding volunteers that work with first grade students at 3 of the 4 schools. I'm so thankful for them and all their hard work.
Last year this school program was started so it's very new and I along with a great team at the Mercy House are figuring out and fixing the kinks along the way. Last year and this year we are able to present the 4 schools with backpacks, supplies and teacher goodie bags. Each school will be getting 30 supply-filled backpacks and each teacher will be receiving a goodie bag filled with a variety of much needed classroom supplies. It's such a blessing to be a part of something so important and fun at the same time.
Happy Back TO School !!!
