Hamper packing field trip!

It was a beautiful morning for the walk to Abundant Life Lutheran Church to help with the Christmas Hamper program. This is the 3rd year that the Grade 5s have been invited to help with sorting items for the hampers. Our creative students also decorated boxes, and we were treated to a snack! The church received 54 requests for hampers for families in our community. It was really nice to help others during this time of year!

Today our class and Ms. Dyck’s class went to the Abundant Life Lutheran Church to pack hampers to go to people that can’t afford food or drinks. Can you believe 54 people called and wanted a hamper?! On the walk there because we were so far apart from each other the faster people got to jump in the ditches. When we got there Ms. Brewer said that we could sort some of the food onto tables. But that didn’t take very long. After sorting some food from our school we got to decorate the hampers and we all drew Christmas stuff on them. Then right at the end we got popcorn and a choice of orange juice or apple juice.  That was pretty much it.
