Recently the eighth graders at Vivian's school had a day of service. Students were divided into groups and sent to various nonprofit agencies in Dallas. Vivian went with a group to the North Texas Food Bank to sort food into boxes. Her teacher sent these pictures and reported that Vivian did great!
Toward the end of the clip when Vivian speaks, she is asking, "May I please close the box?"
Having our children involved in service is one of the best things we can teach our kiddos! My children are grown and now organizing their own service projects, it never really ends. I enjoy your blog!
What a wonderful experience! I loved to hear the encouraging words from her teachers in the background of the clip...she really is a special little girl.

I unintentionally contaminated all of the pictures on my blog when I changed my privacy settings on Flickr. I am working backwards to correct them all, but it is quite a tedious procedure! If you encounter a post with error messages from Flickr where the pictures should be, then I haven't gotten to that post yet. Please let me know and I will update it immediately. Thanks for your patience!
