5th Grade Annual Community Service Project – Recap

Each year, in conjunction with our Resilience and Survival Unit, the Lincoln Eliot 5th graders vote on a community service project to benefit the wider Newton/Boston Community. This year, our students voted to hold a snack drive to benefit a local homeless shelter so that children would have snacks to bring to school. Through this snack drive in February, the Lincoln-Eliot community donated 3,699 individual snacks to a local shelter! 

 

Thank you 5th graders for all your hard work – from working together to brainstorming this year’s effort, to creating posters and spreading the news on the importance of the drive! We are all so proud of you!
