Giving at Thanksgiving


At iMontessori School this season, it was clear that the children and staff feel a genuine gratitude for all that we have. Because of our caring parents and teachers, we were able to have our very own feast at school. We filled our bellies beyond our needs and were joyful about the sharing between us. But throughout the month, we also collected non-perishable foods for Tender Heart Ministries, an organization that distributes food to the hungry over the holidays. Having the leaders of the Tender Heart discuss what the donated food means to those in greater need, was emotionally moving and motivational. I am so glad the children had this opportunity to give. A big THANKS to everyone who donated!



It Felt Good to Give to Others



There were smiles on the children's faces as they carried the donations to the trunk for Tender Heart Ministries. Physically bringing in the food from home and then physically giving the food away, provided a learning experience the children will surely remember.




The children and staff were overjoyed at this moment. Tears of joy were present, and it was confirmed for us, how good giving can feel.




Let's keep on giving throughout the year!
