PBL Reflections

We have now completed our PBL Kindness Project. Here is a list of the things that we did:

* We read the book Wonder to help inspire us.

* We wrote and illustrated our own Kindness Book and then sold it for ACS.

* We raised almost $1000 for ACS for disaster relief at the "Bake to Make a Difference."

* We played chimes for the Pueblo First SDA Church.

* We went can collecting in the local neighborhoods.

* We made 10 Thanksgiving baskets for local families.

* We made anti-bully posters for our school.

* We made Veteran's Day cards for our service men at the Pueblo First SDA Church and local veteran's nursing home.

* We visited the local veteran's nursing home to deliver lap blankets, sing, and hand out cards. 

* We raised over $130 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

* We made Christmas cards for Ugandan hospital prisoners. 

* We made cards and said prayers everyday for loved ones near and far, and for those affected by the recent disasters and tragedies.
