Scottsbluff Star Herald / Gering Courier - News - 05/11/2005 - Students learn benefits of giving

Scottsbluff Star Herald / Gering Courier - News - 05/11/2005 - Students learn benefits of giving: "It didn't seem like the typical destination for a school field trip, but Banner County third graders found a visit to the Goodwill Industries to be very educational.
'We have been learning about reduce, reuse and recycle, and thought this would also be a good opportunity for the kids to learn about charitable giving and how Goodwill works,' said Banner County teacher Carol Newland.
The trip to the Scottsbluff store included a tour of the 'back room' where all donations are collected and sorted, explanation of Goodwill Industries' benefits to the community, and a donation of clothes and household items given by each of the 12 students. "
