Students at Ada Givens Elementary are making an impact in the lives of other children by participating in Operation Stars & Stripes.
From October 16 through November 8, they collected stuffed animals for children who have endured a crisis, such a house fire. The Associated Student Body led the effort with support from teacher Kim Shively and Learning Director Angelic Natividad.
The school coordinated with Veterans Post 83, which will deliver the stuffed animals to local first responders so they can help comfort children during difficult times.
Principal Dalinda Saich says the drive is also in the spirit of citizenship, which is the character trait students are focusing on during the month of November.
The Merced City School District is proud of our Ada Givens Mustangs for their kindness, generosity, and dedication to a great cause.
