Grateful for Humanitarian efforts

Posted March 24, 2012 5:00 am

Lake Park Elementary School was on the receiving end of some very special donations recently. The hardworking and dedicated volunteers from the Humanitarian Service Project included us in their birthday box donations.

Sixteen boxes were dropped off at our school for students who have birthdays in the first half of March. Each child will receive a 20-pound box with four to eight toys, five to seven new books and party supplies. Each child also received gifts at Christmas and the child’s family will be eligible for a summer Feed the Kids Program where families are supplied with food for June, July, and August. I know this will make a huge impact on our students’ lives.

We want to extend a very special thanks to those involved with the Humanitarian Service Project. We applaud all the wonderful people who participated with the Humanitarian Service Project for all the good they do in the community. We are truly grateful that our school was one of the recipients for these gifts.
