Golden Apple: Nisswa Elementary First Graders Give Back
The Nisswa Elementary first grade students took a break from the books to give back.
The students teamed up with the Brainerd Lakes Area Kids Against Hunger to pack up several meals for the less fortunate.
To make sure that those receiving the oatmeal receive all the vitamins necessary the students added extra nutrition to the oatmeal.
Many of the student’s were able to volunteer along side of their parents.
With the combined effort the kids were able to pack over 4,000 meals. They were so committed to the cause that they packed more meals than were expected.
Students like Kingsleigh left the packing feeling a little more grateful for the food they will be eating on Thanksgiving.
