Ali Carias, a 1st grade program leader at Longfellow Elementary, had an idea this holiday season. She wanted to help those in need in the Longfellow Community. Ali and her students decided to collect canned goods and other food items for families who wouldn't be able to afford a Thanksgiving Meal this year. It was a service learning project that started with one program leader and her twenty students, but when the other program leaders heard about it, they and their students bought into the idea as well. When all was said and done, what started as an idea to help out one Longfellow Family has turned into a program wide initiative that will help over ten families. Each family will receive a box similar to the one pictured above, as well as turkeys from money that was also donated. We would like to thank all of the families who donated to make an impact to our community. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
