Learning about our responsibility to others

On October 26, St. Theresa grade six students and students in the Me to We Club made sandwiches for the Shepherds of Good Hope.  We began our day by looking at an image of the "Homeless Jesus" statue.

 

We talked about how everyone in our world should be looked upon as the face of God.  We talked about how our sandwiches could be the only food that a person without a home might have for that day.  Mrs. Hopkins encouraged us to make the sandwiches with care because the sandwich might also be the best part of the person's day.  In order to make the sandwiches, every students was asked to bring in bread, meat and cheese.  We all had to make 10 sandwiches.  We made 750 sandwiches which is almost enough to give each person visiting the Shepherds of Good Hope one sandwich for one day.  Making sandwiches really made us feel like we were being helpful and that we could be bright lights in someone else's day.  Below you will see pictures of our group making sandwiches and delivering the sandwiches to the Shepherds of Good Hope truck.
