WINSTON-SALEM — Each Christmas, St. Leo School’s fourth-grade class adopts a family.
They hold a bake sale every November to raise money for gifts. On “Cyber Monday,” students shop online to find the best deals.
They wrap the project up by, well, wrapping the gifts as a class.
The class learned several lessons through this project last Christmas.
Teamwork, technology and math skills all came into play as they worked together to stretch their bake sale money as far as possible.
The most important lesson learned was the joy in giving to others.
