The Goddard School of Carmel City Center gives back again

Submitted

Last week, The Goddard School of Carmel City Center held a canned food drive, turning giving back into a little friendly classroom competition.

The school has eight classrooms, and each pair of classrooms was assigned a different canned vegetable: green beans, corn, peas, or carrots. Goddard families were encouraged to donate, and the two classrooms that collected the most cans would win a popsicle party.

Needless to say, Goddard families showed up in a big way. There was an incredible turnout, and the generosity of those families was truly heartwarming. After a week of friendly competition, green beans took home the victory and earned the popsicle party.

While Goddard’s little learners were excited about the popsicles, the greatest reward was teaching them the importance of kindness, generosity, teamwork, and helping those in need. Donations are going to a food pantry at a local church.

At The Goddard School of Carmel City Center, even the youngest learners can make a big difference in their community. Everyone at Goddard is incredibly proud of the children, teachers, and families for coming together to support such a meaningful cause.
