The boxes of Noah’s Ark Christian Kid Help Heart in Waynesboro had been reworked right into a murals with the backup of scholars from a close-by basic college.
2d- and third-graders from Fairview Basic College partnered with kids on the heart to fill seven flower beds Might 17.
“We decided to make our campus a canvas for them, so they could leave a little bit of a footprint here at the Ark,” mentioned Lindsay Cook dinner, director at Noah’s Ark. “In combination, they planted vegetation all over the place the boxes.
“Fairview graciously donated all the materials needed for the project and we simply provided the land,” she added.
An annual mission between the universities is turning into a practice, in line with Cook dinner. “Terminating past we did a literacy task. Kids learn books to our scholars they usually did a coloring mission. This past it morphed into one thing other – we would have liked to do a beautification mission.
“One of the more beautiful things about this project is that former Ark students have the ability to come back to where it all began. A lot of our students have older siblings who go to Fairview. And many of Fairview’s staff who are participating have children who have gone through the Ark for early education as well. This is community driven,” famous Cook dinner, whose son, Cooper Cook dinner, is a third-grader at Fairview.
For Fairview, the mission is a part of its While of Provider, in line with predominant Megan McGuire. “Our goal on that day is for the entire building to learn the importance of serving others in our community and also to teach them how a small act can make a big impact,” she added.
“We are honored that Fairview considered us for another year for this project,” Cook dinner mentioned. Our scholars at all times stay up for partnering with the used kids below the habitual purpose of fostering folk relationships.
“The Ark values and appreciates the reputation and relationship that we have built with other educational institutions in Waynesboro,” added Cook dinner, director since 2022. “As an employee here for many years, I was very blessed to be trained under (former director) Jamie Pearson, and I consider it such an honor to be granted the opportunity to continue her legacy in this community.”
Noah’s Ark, positioned at Christ United Methodist Church, is a middle for babies and kids thru grade 5.
