Vista Day of Service

On December 13th all of Vista's staff and students gave something back to the community.  We had a busy day full of energy, enthusiasm, and the opportunity to experience something new and possibly out of our comfort zones.  When everyone returned to school we were treated to refreshments and talked in small groups about the day's experiences and what we had learned.

5th and 6th Graders spent their day at Northwest Harvest in Kent repacking large quantities of food into smaller portions to be distributed to families. The kids had an "amazing time" and boxed over 8,000 lbs of oranges to help feed over 7,000 people in our community.

7th Graders spent their day at Food LifeLine in Shoreline learning about the repacking process for food donations and got their hands during helping out!  The 26 Volunteers from Vista repacked 900 pounds of Frozen French Fries in 3 hours, providing 692 meals!!! 

 

8th Graders spent their day at Operation Sack Lunch in Seattle making and serving meals to the hungry. After they prepared the meal, and served it, they were able to taste their work!
