Third Grade Takes a Shine to Service

Each year the third grade reads The Shoeshine Girl by Clyde Bulla. It is a story about a young girl who learns valuable lessons about hardwork and helping others through a job at a shoeshine stand. To complement their reading, the third graders run a shoeshine stand of their own, inviting family, friends, and faculty members to come down to the Kelly Center for a quick shine. With a little elbow grease and a lot of smiles, students eagerly shined shoes on October 2 and 3, and for their effort they were rewarded with donations that will be used to purchase the materials for their Blankets of Hope project to support the Red Devils.

Watch the third grade shine.
