Thanksgiving is past us, but gratefulness and giving can carry on. I love the idea of giving (and not just during the "holidays"). Our giving tree is a tradition and one that started way before I started teaching at HCP. I've continued it because of the value it instills in young children ---
giving to others.
As I was explaining the "giving tree" to the MWF class about how we would collect food items to put under our tree and then give to HRC who provides food for families who may not be able to buy food for their family. A child responded with: "That's really sad. I'm going to tell my mom to buy food so I can put it under the tree". And that's what it's all about.
Here is our tree. Thank you for your donations.
