Kimmel Farm Elementary
For the second year in a row, students at Kimmel Farm
Elementary school have learned the importance of helping and giving back to the
community. Students participated in a school-wide campaign last year called “Covering
Our Kids.”
The campaign was led by Londyn Lindsey, a fifth-grader who
saw the need to reach out and help homeless students stay warm. With her
leadership, the school collected and donated new and gently used coats to
Project Hope. For the second drive during the spring, students collected and
donated toiletries to fellow students through Project Hope.
Kids-Helping-Kids
continued…2017-18
Students at Kimmel Farm last year set the bar high for
future drives.
Again heeding the call, after hearing about the tornado in
Greensboro that impacted several schools, Kimmel Farm students leaped in and
helped by starting the “Kids-Helping-Kids” campaign.
Led by fifth-graders from Mrs. April Washburn’s class,
students collected and donated toiletries, school supplies and personal care
items to help the students in the schools impacted by the tornado.
A second-grader from Mrs. Jan Vogts’ class stated, “I would
be sad to see my things flying away” and donated several packs of colored
pencils.
Donations were loaded and packed up by our custodial staff
and taken by our School Counselors to Partnership for Children-Guilford County
in Greensboro.
