The day began with a prayerful reminder of the purpose of service and then off to work. Kindergarten and first grade decorated breakfast bags in the Parish Hall. Some students in grades five and six met in the Parish Hall to go to the Fairmount Water Works, while other fifth graders met to shop and deliver sheets to Saint Mary's Home for Children. Seventh graders were off to deliver books to the Philadelphia Reads Project. You cannot keep the second, third, and fourth graders down, so they rallied to pack the breakfast bags and the eighth graders were on a mission to pick up and deliver the breakfast bags. So much good; so much fun. Just take a look.
