so my students and i did a service project this week. what did we do, you may ask? well, we went to the testing center and handed out granola bars with 'good luck' notes on them. then we joined one of the other groups in cheering for those who have come out of the testing center.
great idea no? probably not what you normally think of as service but i think it was successful. it was so neat (i think im going to start using this work more and more...i like it) to see my kids light up as they cheered others on, as they wrote notes of cheering for those getting ready to take tests. that is what service does....it lightens our spirits.
anyhoo, after we got back to the classroom, i asked my students if that counted as service? they all said "YES!" then i asked why. what is the definition of service.
emilee simply said:
"service is uplifting others"
beautiful isnt it?
