🌟 Third Grade Service Project 🌟
Our amazing third grade students have completed their service project, creating beautiful blankets for babies and toddlers in need. As they worked, they also prayed for these little ones, sending love and care with each stitch. ❤️
It was such a joy to see their hearts full of compassion, and what an honor to be a part of this special project. In giving, we receive great joy! 🙏
