8th Grade Shares and Shines for God's Glory
On Wednesday, February 24, 2010, half of the 8th grade class had the privilege of going to Elim Christian Adult Services in Palos Heights and working along side of the adults to put together school packets that will be sent down to Haiti. If Elim could raise 50,000 dollars, then there was a donor who agreed to match the amount. Praise God! They met their goal. The students of Timothy contributed $11,459.40 which was doubled and, in fact, put them over the goal. Both the adults of Elim and the students of Timothy came away with a better understanding of each other, and we felt very blessed by this experience.
The other half of the 8th grade class travelled to the Northern Illinois Food Bank in St. Charles where they learned about the growing problem of poverty and hunger in the Chicagoland area. The students worked hard to package food packs that would go to local schools for students to take home and box bread for local food pantries. They also had fun while working in teams to accomplish their goals.
