Joy, Gratefulness, and Generosity

Magnolia students displayed genuine generosity with their giving to the school's coin drive. According to counselor Lauren Blake, it was obvious from counting all of the money that it came from students' piggy banks and from their hearts!  There were lots of old coins with an occasional dollar bill sprinkled in here and there. Mrs. Blake said that numerous children told her how they earned the money they donated to the coin drive.  After a week of giving, Magnolia Elementary students collected a total of $917.88 that will be donated to TEAM (Trussville Ecumenical Assistance Ministry) to help families in the area who are in need.

December has been filled with teaching students about joy, gratefulness, and generosity, and these students applied their learning this holiday season. Mrs. Blake said,  "I am overwhelmed with joy and humbled by our sweet kiddos!"
