Service week in Middle School

Happy New Year to all of you. I hope you feel refreshed as we are about to start a new Semester. Who knows what wonder this Semester will bring?

The grade 7 students were busy during the last week of school doing Service activities. These activities contribute to the part of the MYP which is Community and Service. Students have different levels of service activities that they engage in. All of the service activities completed in the last week of Semester 1 fell under Level 1 activities- activities organized by the school which students participate in.
Here are some pictures of students involved in soup making for the hungry and also packing gift boxes for the orphanage.

 To pack the boxes for the orphanage, students generously donated many items which went into the boxes. Grade 7 students donated the most items for the boxes!
Students followed a checklist and worked together in groups to pack and decorate their boxes.
Personally, I was uplifted to see the students serving so willingly while putting their hearts into those boxes through writing messages and Bible passages for the children to receive.

 Fortuntaely I had the opportunity to visit the orphanage with CIC to deliver these boxes to the children. Santa even came along to add to the exctiement. For some children their boxes were so precious that they had a little peek and then went to a private place to really open and explore all of the goodies in their package. Every child was in awe of all of the things in their box. They loved having a box to keep their precious presents.
Students you can be assured that the love you put into those boxes for the children was very much felt and appreciated.

Thank you TCIS students for blessing these children so generously!
