PraireWood Students and Staff took some time (some chilly time at that) to give back to their community today. The crew spent two hours ringing bells and caroling for the Salvation Army Red Kettle drive. The kettle was awfully full when our shift ended and we returned to the center to warm up with some hot chocolate. It was a great day! Sarah is our feature blogger this week. Here is what she had to say about her week at PrairieWood...
"This week at PrairieWood I learned to make breakfast burritos. I enjoyed eating ham and scalloped potatoes for lunch. I was challenged by remembering to ask for help when I need it. At PrairieWood I would like to learn more about making chocolate chip cookies."
Sarah will get to learn about making those cookies next week as we begin preparations for our Holiday Thank You cookies.
Below are pictures from our afternoon ringing bells for the Salvation Army! Thank you to the patrons of the Wilson Avenue Hy-Vee for all their generous donations!!!
