No Waterloo Buses January 12
No Waterloo busing January 12. This is only for those that ride on the Waterloo bus routes.
From Mrs. Johnson...
My third graders recently participated in Monat Wealth Management's "Pay It Forward" program. Each student was allotted $25 and had the freedom to decide whom to "Pay It Forward" to with this money.
Students had to describe why they chose their recipients. Some of the places that will be receiving these donations are The 1854 Ice Cream Shop, The University of Iowa Children's Hospital, and The Keep our Oceans Clean Campaign.
This was a wonderful opportunity to spread kindness and gratitude to many different organizations. The forms will be compiled and put into a spiral booklet. When I receive it, each student will read their form to the class. This way each student can learn who was chosen and why.
Thank you to Monat Wealth Management for your generosity and for providing this experience for the third graders here at Immaculate Conception.
