1st Grade Bible Mission Project

In Mrs. Harrell and Mrs.Morgan's 1st grade Bible class, they have been studying about the importance of giving, sharing, and caring for others. The students decided that they wanted to do something to help someone in need. They donated to two great organizations that help the needy. The Agape Shop has clothing, shoes, toys, etc.., for people in need. They also collected can goods to donate to a local Food Pantry. What an awesome way for the students to act on what they have been learning in Bible!
