The parents are all super sweet tho, I text pictures of the kids in their group, so that we at least get a little sneak peak of all the fun they are having!
Peyton's field trip they went to John Burroughs for World Food Day. Here is the explanation of what they did to help the hungry on that day.
On Friday, October 16th, more than 1,800 St. Louisans from all over the region joined together at John Burroughs School to assemble meals to feed the hungry. The St. Louis Area Foodbank will distribute more than 160,000 fortified macaroni and cheese meals locally and the Outreach Program of Union, IA will deliver 200,000 meals to a school-based feeding program in Tanzania. We are grateful to the many schools, businesses, clubs, and organizations who registered as Packaging Partners, the countless Leadership Volunteers who worked tirelessly to execute the event, and all of our generous sponsors for supporting this local and international hunger- relief initiative.
This hunger-relief initiative is a great team-builder for businesses and groups; a memorable and fun inter-generational experience for families; and a meaningful and impactful community service activity that unites the St. Louis community. A lot of hungry people living locally and around the world are going to receive nutritious meals thanks to the philanthropic spirit that is alive and well in St. Louis.
Peyton had a great time, and claims it was the best field trip ever! I'm really hoping to be able to go to this one next year with Jack.
Jack's field trip was to botanical gardens. It looks as if they had a good time too! I don't have a big explanation of what they did or learned, but I'm sure they had a good time, and probably learned at least one thing…..
