Rancho Santa Fe Second Graders Aid Kids Korps In Sending A Little Warmth To Homeless Children In Ensenada, Mexico
Mrs. Kim’s second grade class at RSF’s Roger Rowe Elementary took time from their scheduled holiday festivities on December 16th to focus on some goodwill. Rather than painting pine cones or making gingerbread houses that would eventually end up tossed aside like used wrapping paper and bows — this year the children, together with their parents, turned their attention to creating something that would be a blessing to someone else.
At the urging of Lynn Frank, class mom, Mrs. Kim’s class teamed up with Kids Korps. After enjoying a spirited class performance and some yummy treats, parents assisted their children in weaving soft fleece strips into snuggly scarves. The scarves, along with other cold weather staples such as blankets will be delivered to Ensenada, Mexico and distributed to homeless children.
(Kids Korps offers more than 1,000 hands-on service opportunities each year, bringing lasting benefits to the community and developing leaders for life through youth volunteerism. For more informationvisit http://www.kidskorps.org/.)
