We did it… again! A few weeks ago, we received a surprise pizza delivery for a class party. As soon as I saw the 5 boxes of pizza and a certificate of recognition with the Laveen Lion’s Club logo, I knew that we bagged the championship for the penny drive that the club organized to help feed and support the needy families in our community.
It was heart-warming to see my kindergarten students come to school with random amounts of pennies in their little hands or in small ziploc baggies with wide-eyed faces of joy and pride. Their words of excitement and pride that they are able to bring and put in a contribution to fill up our jar were priceless and unforgettable!
I would like to thank the Laveen Lion’s Club and the Laveen school district for giving our students the opportunity to start the fire of philanthropy at such an early age.
