Harvest Festival Week

Dear families,

Our school was collecting food for the soup kitchen in our neighborhood. Homeless people and other people who don't have enough food use the soup kitchen. If someone needs food, they can get food from the soup kitchen. Our school is very generous. Just our class collected 56 cans. Here is a picture. We organized the cans into groups of 10. Then we counted 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, then 6 more.

Everybody needs food to eat. That's why we help collect food every year. We call it the Harvest Festival. There was a club to help organize the Harvest Festival and the Penny Harvest. On the day of the Harvest Festival our whole school went outside to sing songs and bring food to the soup kitchen. When our whole school was outside, someone took a photo of all of us from the school's roof! Then, every person carried one can to the church. The soup kitchen smelled like chili, or maybe chicken soup.

Our school is thankful that we have the Harvest Festival every year.

We hope that everyone has a good Thanksgiving!

love,

The First Graders
