Dinner offers students a lesson in charity

Dinner offers students a lesson in charity: "Students created turkey day-themed place mats and spent more than a month collecting canned goods to give to those enjoying the neighborhood meal. Food drives at schools are common, but not every class gets to see first hand the results of their efforts.

'It's good for kids to be able to follow the cycle and see who gets the food,' Dietz said.

Students gathered the donated food along with food donated by Grainger Parts in Waterloo, First Wesleyan and Grace Brethren and filled 270 grocery bags for people to take with them after the meal."
