Watauga Gives Back

During the month of December all of Watauga Elementary had thoughts of giving in their heads! For our community service project, each grade level found a way to help someone have a Merry Christmas. In kindergarten, the students donated food. In first grade, they accepted donations for our annual Relay For Life campaign. The second grade classes accepted donations to adopt some friends from the Adopt-An-Angel Tree. The third grade classes made "goody bags" for cancer patients. The fourth grade classes brought in games, cards, coloring books and crayons for local hospitals to use in their pediatric units. The fourth grade also participated in a Christmas Card program for the military. The fifth grade collected soda tops and sent those to the Shrine hospital. These tops can be recycled in leg braces for children. Instead of playing "Secret Santa" the faculty and staff donated money to the "Giving Jar" and were able to purchase fifty-seven hams which in turn were donated to the local food bank. We hope this Christmas was wonderful for everyone!
