The third grade students at Andersonville Elementary School recently completed an Academic Service Learning Project they titled MilitaryGiving.
In this project, students researched the most requested items by service men and women, and began a school wide drive to collect those items.
They wrote letters to staff and parents, performed a skit at a schoolwide meeting, and wrote letters to local businesses. They were able to collect over 700 items.
The donations were then sorted, counted, and graphed before being boxed up along with hand written letters to the troops.
They were taken to the American Legion Post who combined the items collected with their care packages and sent them to troops serving all over the world.
