Sabish Elves, Gina Rieder

Gina, seventh grade social studies teacher, has been running the Sabish Elves for five year. Gina and her students started out to help kindergarten students at Parkside. This year Sabish social studies and science seventh graders helped 200 kindergarteners. They skyped the students to ask their needs. They purchased the presents and with Key Club and other adult volunteers, they wrapped them.  The program has been awarded a $10,000 grant to help fund the program in future years. Gina has sent us a link to photos of the past five years. Be sure to mark your calendars to help wrap next year. We have a number of our members and Key club members in 2017 pictures. Thanks Gina and Sabish students and staff for a great job.
