"Coach Rood and Coach Schwartz Advisories went to Lincoln Elementary School.  We have formed a partnership with this school over the last two years.  Several of our middle school sports teams have gone to serve at Lincoln, with our main goal being to encourage their students and teachers, and to help fill their food pantry.  Before our service day we prepared by selecting the grade level each student wanted to work with and by brainstorming a way to encourage that class and teacher.  We also prayed for the school, students and teachers. On that day, we arrived, and went to help in the classrooms, one student per class.  The students loved having our students and were surprised with the small gifts that they received. We brought our lunch and ate with each class and played at recess with them.  We left feeling like we had shared lots of love, light and encouragement with our adopted school." Mrs. Lisa Schwartz 

 

"As a teacher, the service day is important because it gives me the opportunity to serve alongside my students.  So often I am telling my students what they should be doing in class or what to do for homework, etc.  On the service day, I am doing the same work they are doing.  We are servants of Christ together.  We are all called to serve and love our neighbor, and I love serving with my students."  Mrs. Rebecca Cheney
