The fifth-grade student ambassadors at Ocean Palms Elementary School are giving back to the community.
In fact, 72 treat bags were hand-created and delivered to Bayview’s skilled nursing and assisted living facilities. The student ambassadors crafted special cards out of recycled materials and attached them to treat bags with candy the students donated.
Additionally, the student ambassadors unveiled a special “thank you” to area first responders at this year’s Deck the Chairs. Their light-up installation, made from recycled materials they collected and repurposed, was aglow with two otters (the school’s mascot), a message saying, “OPE loves our first responders,” and backed by an American flag. The students are also creating special gifts they will deliver to area first responders this winter.
So, even in a year of distancing, area students are finding ways to bring the community together — in spirit.
