St. Joseph’s students are back from break and will celebrate Christmas this Sunday!
Before Christmas break, St. Joseph’s students got into the Christmas spirit by getting busy in the kitchen! In Personal Living Skills class, students baked cookies, made our famous Oreo truffles and peanut butter balls. They had a fun time decorating and using lots of sprinkles!
Christmas is a lot more than baking and exchanging gifts though. It is about giving and being thankful for what we have and being with the ones we love the most.
Sadly, there are many people who cannot be with their loved ones during the holidays or some who cannot provide for their families at Christmas because of different circumstances. The seventh graders worked on a community service project to try and give back to people in need.
After some discussion, they decided that making baby blankets and donating them to the Chamberlain women’s shelter would not only keep babies warm, but would warm many hearts, too.
Being a part of this community service project was an excellent way for our students to give back this Holiday season and was a great addition to the food drive put on by the Student Leaders at St. Joseph’s Indian School.
Wopila tanka – many thanks – for the generosity you show the Lakota children which allows them to show generosity to others!
