Some of you guys have been hitting home runs in your home towns. Last week we asked you to tell us how you are helping in your community.
Let's find out what you're up to by checking out our inbox!
Riley from e.g. Shaw elementary seems to be doing a lot of good work! She wrote:
"hi! I'm Riley and I’m in fifth grade and one way I help my community is I am a girl scout and I clean up parks and help put up decorations. I also go camping and clean up the cabin and the camp. I also foster dogs our organization is called puppy pals. Remember don't shop, adopt!
Carly from Westwood likes to keep it clean outside too.
"I help my community by not littering. This helps my community because the more you liter the dirtier and less safe your community becomes. When I finish my food or drink I dispose of it properly. I recycle, reduce and reuse instead of littering. It is good to keep your community clean - that is what I try to do - and to encourage people to not litter. That is how I help my community. "
Ruby from Maryland elementary shared how she helps the people in her life.
"I don't exactly do this in my community, but when I go to my grandparent's house, we go to a nursing home and push the residents' wheelchairs to the church section of the building. We go around the nursing home and ask the person whose door we stop at if they would like to go to church. If they say 'yes,' we push them to worship. After we are done, we sit in the church and sometimes I play the piano."
Finally Abbie from rock creek elementary wrote to us
"we watch news depth every week and it's awesome! My answer for this week is that I am a cross walker at my school, which means I help kids walk across the street so they don't get hurt by cars. By this, I help the rock creek community so their kids, grandchildren, and more don't get hit by a car or get injured by a car. I am in sixth grade so I get to help all of the younger kids behind me. I walk out with my partner who helps me with the job. Parker and I hold out flags to cars so they know there is a child walking. I feel this is important because I help children and their parents be safe. In conclusion, this is my answer for this week’s poll on how I help people be safe."
Wow you are making us all so proud.
Thanks for writing Riley, Carly, ruby, and Abbie. I'm sure your community is grateful too!
