December Service Project


In our day-to-day lives, many opportunities arise to perform Service, helping others to do what they cannot do alone. This willingness to work for the benefit of those in need, without the expectation of reward, is the quality we seek in our students at Gilbert Elementary. The Christmas holiday season is a perfect time to perform acts of service for our community.

During the month of December, Gilbert's Student Council will be collecting Christmas items for the local nursing homes. The Honor Society will join with them in this project. Please help by sending in small items for our community's two nursing homes.
