Service Learning

Thank you so much to GCSS Board Member Sammy Smith for organizing a visit from the Truelove family and their dairy cow "Rosie." This special visit was planned after hearing about our second graders raising money to purchase a dairy cow from World Vision to help a family in need this holiday season. To say that the children were excited is an understatement. After the teachers took turns milking the cow, the students were highly grossed out when they realized that the milk they drink everyday comes from cows just like Rosie. HILARIOUS! In addition to such a wonderful experience for the children, we were presented with a check to ensure that we would reach our goal. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this worth while cause. I loved seeing the children's giving hearts and concern for others through this service learning project.  
Meet Rosie! She certainly spread a lot of holiday cheer!

The kids meeting Rosie. Thank you Trueloves for providing this great experience!

The kids LOVED seeing me milk the cow.
