Several years ago, first-grade teacher Carolyn Lowe had a sweet idea that turned into a service-learning project and allowed us to share our surplus Halloween stash with our community helpers. For a detailed article about this fabulous lesson, visit the Character Educator.
Another way to honor those who serve is to send your surplus candy overseas to our military personnel on active duty, and Operation Gratitude will do just that.
Here's the address so you can send a sweet surprise:
Operation Gratitude/California Army National Guard
17330 Victory Boulevard
What a great idea...thanks for sharing this!
