Harborfields Fourth Graders Learn the Spirit of Giving With Basket Project

Harborfields fourth graders learn the spirit of giving with basket project thumbnail237543

Fourth graders in Jennifer Thompson and Christine Vlcek’s class at Thomas J. Lahey Elementary School in the Harborfields Central School District recently made four Thanksgiving baskets filled with food for a Thanksgiving family meal. The baskets were donated to the Harborfields Alliance for Community Outreach for needy families within the Harborfields community.

Class parents, who had organized the sending of food donations and supermarket gift cards into the classroom, worked with the students and teachers on Nov. 15 to assemble the baskets by “shopping” from the donations that had been sent in.  The parents then delivered the completed baskets to HACO for distribution within the community.
 
“We wanted the students to participate in a community service project that gave back to their own community for them to understand empathy, kindness and the true spirit of giving during the holiday of Thanksgiving,” Thompson said.
