ACS Students Create Valentine’s Day Gift Bags for Children at Ronald McDonald House

Mrs. Parker’s 7th grade class created a craft project

Students from elementary to high school collaborated on a service project this month to decorate and fill 30 Valentine’s Day gift bags with hand-made Valentine’s Day cards, snacks, games, and craft projects for families at the Ronald McDonald House in Camden. This is the third year in a row that ACS students have participated in this Valentine’s Day service project.

The gift bags were delivered on Valentine’s Day by ACS Resource Room Specialist Mrs. Kelly Schlundt, who heads up the project. The gift bags were given to children who are staying at the Ronald McDonald House while they receive treatment at Philadelphia area hospitals.

Mrs. Schlundt said ACS has also been collecting metal soda can tabs in the lunchroom. The tabs collected during the first half of this school year are recycled and the funds help pay for the utility bills at the Ronald McDonald House. “We’ll keep collecting the soda tabs until the end of the school year and will give them to the Ronald McDonald House over the summer or next Valentine’s Day,” Mrs. Schlundt said.
