Jennie P Stewart Elementary is observing service week through various student activities. The week includes a service project involving pantry packs and a celebration for Veterans Day.
As part of the pantry pack service project, students are writing notes of encouragement to other students. Each grade level has been assigned a specific food item for the packs: Kindergarten is providing instant oatmeal packets, 1st grade is providing drink packets, 2nd grade is providing fruit snacks, 3rd grade is providing cheese and crackers, 4th grade is providing granola bars, 5th grade is providing applesauce, and 6th grade is providing easy mac pouches. The school will be putting the packs together on Friday, Nov. 13. Financial donations for the project can be made to the Stewart Elementary General Donation - DSD Give, with a request to include Pantry Packs in the comments.
The school will also celebrate and honor veterans and military families. On Wednesday, Nov. 11, everyone is invited to wear patriotic colors for Veterans Day. A wall of veterans will be displayed in the hallway by the lunchroom, and the school noted that it is not too late to submit a picture of a veteran for the display.
