4th Graders Making a Difference!
As part of our IB program, each spring our JG 4th Graders learn first-hand how, "Communities are changed by the actions of individuals." They research non-profit organizations, select one, and implement an action plan to make a significant contribution to that organization.
This year we resumed the tradition where they share their Exhibition process in our school auditorium. Parents, community members, and fellow JG Hornets were able to experience presentations about the work 4th graders did to make a difference in our Nashville community.
Our 4th graders organized craft stands, lemonade stands, bake sales, community athletic events, donation drives, etc., and raised awareness for 15 different humanitarian organizations that help adults, children, and animals with issues such as poverty, physical disabilities, illness, emotional health, and homelessness.
Together the 4th grade class of 2022 collected 2 carloads of new and gently used supplies for new mothers, 2 carloads of supplies for artists, pet foods, pop tabs, and approximately $9,000 in monetary contributions for their various humanitarian organizations!
Way to go 4th Grade Class of 2022!
