Recently Stephanie Kerns and Carly Lundgren-Barnard took
some Truman High School sophomore and junior student council and DECA students
to Gleaners to do some volunteer work.
They worked in four different stations: bag folding, box
making, packing boxes with food, and weighing and labeling the boxes. The
students bagged and boxed over 1,000 items. The teachers were very proud of
their enthusiasm to do community service and give back to our community and
they were very well behaved.
The group also went to Heritage Park for lunch and team
building activities. The students learned to use verbal and non-verbal
communication skills to solve a problem and work together as a team.
They were paired up with kids from a different grade so
that they could meet new people and learn professional networking skills and had
some fun while doing it. The group couldn't have asked for better weather and
better-behaved students, this was an amazing experience that we would like to
start a tradition of.
