Aden Hebron 19 Dr. Debbie Ehlenburg, superintendent For the past seven years the elementary service learning students collect gifts for needy families within the community. Students write letters to businesses asking for donations. They also write letters to several organizations like 4H, Boy Scouts, National Honor Society, and churches to see if they would be willing to sponsor a family. Lists are made and sent to the sponsors. The gifts are collected and wrapped by the students. Each participating family is provided with bags of wrapped items for the children. This project is done with the assistance of the local food pantry and churches. This year, 33 families with 98 children were served.
