I think learning that they can help others will also help with forming friendships that are mutual and reciprocal.apulranghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16133974049950425863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-62825389150201886022014-04-01T08:39:58.058-04:002014-04-01T08:39:58.058-04:00I started a "Loose Change Drive" at my s...I started a "Loose Change Drive" at my son's elementary school in 2011 and would have been happy if we raised $50. We raised a little over $100. In 2012, the school raised $258. This year the goal is $300! 100% of what we collect goes to a local charity. I purchased containers from the local dollar store and each classroom collects coins and then the two special education classrooms (my son is in one of them) helps count the coins. My high school daughter makes posters and she and I roll the coins (the wrappers are donated by a local bank). Now that my little guy is moving up to middle school, it is something I hope will continue for many years to come!!!!Cathy B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02482216094140399389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-63827131029478049212014-03-31T23:43:24.884-04:002014-03-31T23:43:24.884-04:00I'll say!

It was awful because everyone started throwing the cans and one hit me in the face. I told them to stop throwing the cans, but no one would listen. Even one of the teachers justified the can throwing by saying something along the lines of "It's a service event. Now stop being selfish and serve." After someone accidentally dropped and broke a can and bean juice leaked on the floor, everyone stopped throwing the cans. This is an example of community service gone wrong.

My blog is www.onetinystarfish.blogspot.com and the website is www.schindia.com <br /><br />Your comment on Max helping others got me thinking that it would be so great if we could set something up between the kids! 4 of my 8 have cerebral palsy as well. 1 has spina bifida and 3 are blind and have autism. They are amazing... Max too!! :)<br /><br />NikkiNikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02177713668325278917noreply@blogger.com
