Seaford Manor Elementary School fifth graders brought joy to local nursing home residents for Thanksgiving. On Nov. 15, students completed a community service project by making colorful “Happy Thanksgiving” placemats.
Starting with large pieces of white paper, students tapped into their creativity to come up with unique, seasonal designs. In addition to their crayons, colored pencils and markers, fifth grade class parents provided youngsters with additional supplies such as fake leaves, feathers and stickers.
The placemats will be laminated and then given to the Huntington Hills Center for Health and Rehabilitation for residents to use during their Thanksgiving dinner. This was the third year that fifth graders have done the service project, which teaches them about being kind and giving back to their community.
