Hi Bob! Your blog post on the Pennies for Piece kids encouraged me to let you know about Mrs. Jarrett’s 6th Grade Class at Horace Mann Elementary. My son is a student in the class and I can’t say enough about how enthusiastic and supportive this group of kids have been with their "Service Saturday" projects.
So far this school year, the kids have participated in the following:
- Trail work on the Sammamish Trail·
- Worked at a homeless shelter to serve a meal·
- Donated monies to Page Ahead·
- Held a pet food drive for the Seattle Humane Society·
- Held a tea and read poetry for the Fairwinds Retirement Luxury Resort.
- Projects planned for the rest of the school year are making blankets for Project Linus and serving a meal at Tent City 4 on May 11th.
I’m working on getting some photos of our past projects...do you think there is space on your blog for a little shout-out about this great bunch of kids? ~ Marlene Katz
Send me your photos if you want Marlene! What a tremendous success story! I was a lunch buddy at Mann and my daughter went to school there. Your school is great!
And another shout-out to Mrs Jarrett who is spearheading this whole project! She's making a real difference in the lives of her students. THANK YOU!

These Service Saturdays are one of the best ways to help out the community. Thanks a bunch for the oppurtunities to do service, Mrs. Jarrett! These are really fun and great for the environment. I'm really looking forward to the next service Saturday. These service saturdays are definetely the best experiences that i've ever had in class. I have most definetely enjoyed all these service oppurtunities. I (and all the class) really appreciate the work you've put into this, Mrs. Jarrett.
