Thanksgiving Food Baskets

Our class has decided to engage in a service learning project for Thanksgiving! Our idea was inspired by last week's Reading Street story, Scarcity.

We decided to create Thanksgiving Baskets for those in our REACH community who may benefit from them.

I sent flyers home on Thursday that included the below information:
