This morning the finalists in the Charitable Champions project presented their grant requests to the HANDS Foundation board. As a part of the project students learn about philanthropy and local nonprofit groups. Students select a local nonprofit and write a grant on its behalf which focuses on an identified need. The nonprofits represented by the finalist presentations this year are Easterseals Passages, Camp Whitley, Forklift, and Giving Gardens. This program is a partnership between ISMS, HANDS, and the Whitley County Community Foundation. Grant awards will be announced in late May.

This week the 5th graders from each elementary school had a chance to visit the middle school and experience the cafeteria where they will be served next year! The kids had their choice of either main line, or the salad bar line......and the salad bar seemed to be the popular choice for these upcoming 6th graders!
