Hooray we participated in the 8th grade class Socktober service project! Our school collected lots of new socks for Mercy Watch, a non-profit organization helping the homeless in Snohomish County.
We also participated in Apple Cup (our school was able to donate lots of nonperishable items to the IC Food Bank) and Pregnancy Aid (we donated clothes, toiletries, toys, etc.)
Our third graders also challenged the school to show love and kindness around our global community from January (Worldwide Kindness Challenge Month) until the end of Lent.
Another service project we third graders will be participating in is the CRS Rice Bowl program. We can't wait to get our Rice Bowls on Ash Wednesday and learn more about helping others.
This Lenten season we are also looking forward to leading The Stations of the Cross with our parish community.
Did you know we clean the pews at IC after our Thursday masses?
We also host our preschoolers some mornings (when it is raining and too cold out).
Our school is working hard at serving others as valuable members of our global community.

School Wide Projects
100 Acts of Kindness January 19th-February 14th
After learning about Martin Luther King, Jr. and his dream that everyone is kind, helpful, and respectful of others we third graders will begin a special project to celebrate his birthday. It will begin on his birthday, January 19th and continue until Valentines Day. We will challenge the other classes to do the same, so this will be a school wide project.
At school, students are going to be watching one another to look for those acts of kindness. If someone helps find a lost pencil, that’s an act of kindness to report. If someone falls and someone helps a kid up and checks to see if their OK, that’s an act of kindness, too. Our rule is that you cannot report your own act of kindness; someone else has to report something nice that you did for them

Earth Day/Solidarity Project Class 3rd/4th 2010-2011
We organized and held bake sales to raise money to purchase the plants and shrubs for the south hillside of the playground.

The fourth graders made Earth Day posters to hang in the classroom and around the school to educate people on caring for our Earth.
The third graders noticed that our playground equipment had dwindled, so they made posters to hang around the school to remind students to take care of the playground equipment. They originally wrote Mrs. Veith to request equipment, only to find out she had recently given some to the playground just a short time before our request.
The third/fourth graders prayed two decades of the rosary and made cards for Mrs. Nasti who had surgery.
The third/fourth graders prayed a full rosary for the people of Japan the week of the tsunami and earthquake. We brought food and clothing for the school drive to send to Japan.

We participate in all the school food drives and we collected money in our rice bowl.
We participated in Scholastic Classroom Cares by reading 100 books. Scholastic then donates one million books to kids in need.
