Students enrolled in the Jordan Virtual Learning Academy came together in-person for a full “Day of Service.” They want to build community connections with people who may need just a little something to smile about as we head into the holiday season. The K-12 online students left their screen time behind for a while to participate in hands-on activities they hope will help the community around them.
Students participated in four different service projects:
- Marking “Yarn Puff Balls” to Be Used as Snowballs in Snowball Fights. They are for Kauri Sue Hamilton students with physical challenges that may keep them from going outside for a snowball fight this winter.
- Decorating Food Boxes for the Utah Food Bank. The decorated boxes will be used to brighten the day for those receiving free food deliveries.
- Making Holiday Greeting Cards for Seniors. The greeting cards will be distributed to local nursing homes for residents to sign and send to loved ones.
- Making Warm Winter Quilts for Kids. The quilts will be donated to Primary Children’s Hospital.
Thank you to students, teachers, staff and parents who were a part of this “Day of Service,” making a difference in the lives of others.
