This year, projects included goody bags for the Veterans Home; tie blankets for Children’s Hospital; diaper cakes for the Highland County Pregnancy Center; care bags for the local elderly and shut-ins; chew toys and houses and blankets for the Highland County Humane Society; making Christmas cards for various people and places; and preparing food boxes for anyone to take home for themselves or anyone they know in need.
All of these projects were completed throughout the day and collected before school let out. In the next few days, these items were delivered to their destinations.
The Day of Giving allows students and faculty to work together to complete the common goal of helping others. This day is for fellowship and giving. The FFA’s motto is “Learning to do, doing to learn, earning to live, living to serve.” Day of Giving represents this motto perfectly, and Mowrystown FFA is proud to serve their community.
