GLOBAL LEADERS IN ACTION – TOILETRY DRIVE, NOVEMBER 3–14
As part of our Global Leaders program, one of our fifth-grade students, Clara Ellis, has taken the initiative to organize a schoolwide toiletry drive as her service project. This effort is a wonderful example of our students putting leadership and empathy into action!
From November 3–14, Jeffreys Grove will be collecting toiletries to support people experiencing homelessness. Donations will be distributed at Oak City Cares through a student-run booth led by Clara and some of her peers. The goal is to collect at least 250 items to help provide individuals in need with essentials that can last through the year.
Students can bring donations to grade-level collection boxes in the main lobby. The grade that collects the most items will celebrate with an ice cream party!
We are so proud of Clara for her leadership, compassion, and commitment to making the world a better place—one act of kindness at a time. Thank you for supporting our Global Leaders and helping them create meaningful change in our community.
