Gifts from the Elementary

The Thunder Ridge Elementary kids made picture holders for the residents of Sun Porch and Smith Center Health and Rehab as Christmas gifts. The kids wanted the residents to know they were loved and thought about so they made picture holders for them to help display a family picture.

Wood blocks and supplies were purchased with Thrivent dollars. The kids love to live generously by giving to those who can’t give a gift back. Teach them to #livegenerously!

Tess Wyrill shows off her photo holder.

Sawyer Levin makes a card to go with her gift.

3rd graders show their picture holders and cards!
