First Grade visited the Ronald McDonald House this week. Students made Valentines and decorations to take there. They also brought in items to donate as well as monetary donations and gift cards. Donations were for the guests staying at the RMH. Students were given a tour and learned about how the house operates and who they help.
We enjoyed our trip and getting to help our community, especially during CSW!
