Hawks Nest STEAM Academy Student Council - December Service Activity

In December, Student Council members honed leadership skills through serving the community. Student Council members assembled 75 craft kits for the Ronald McDonald House in Charlotte. Each grade level worked together to make the craft kits: Pipe Cleaner Bracelet Craft Kit (4th grade), Pipe Cleaner Lavendar Flower Craft Kit (3rd grade) and Pipe Cleaner Butterfly Ring Craft Kit (5th grade).  This service opportunity allowed student council members to further develop and demonstrate leadership skills - organization, collaboration, and cooperation.  We're so proud of their leadership and the impact they are making on our school and community!
