February 9 - Houston Food Bank

Luke & Chris

The 6th grade magnet program at Luke's school went to the Houston Food Bank today for a field trip. The kids (approx. 100) were divided into 2 groups. Luke's group worked in the warehouse, putting together food boxes. The kids were divided into smaller groups and did a variety of tasks, including building the boxes, stocking items, filling the boxes with food, weighing the boxes and cleanup (tearing down the boxes and recycle the materials). Luke was in the part of the stocking team and also helped with cleanup. Our team leader from the food bank was awesome! She had music pumping and the kids and parents were dancing and singing while working. It was a great way to spend the morning! I've been to many field trips over the years and this was one of the best ones yet!

Afterwards, the kids went to a local park for lunch and had fun running around, enjoying the sunny weather. It's been raining A LOT here recently so it was nice to have a dry day. 

Happy Thursday everyone!
