The annual “Day of Giving” is coming up next Tuesday.
This is the fourth year of “Day of Giving” at Bellwood-Antis. It was a day originally created by the Renaissance Club as a way of using the last day before Thanksgiving Break in a positive and productive way.
The first Day of Giving happened in 2019, but it didn’t immediately pick up steam because of COVID. It has been going strong since 2022.
On this day all students have a chance to participate in school activities and community service.
There is also a Door Decorating contest that will be held to start the celebration of Christmas that same day as the Day of Giving. Students can sign up to decorate particular rooms, and the doors will be rated by a panel of judges in a contest.
The top 5 winners of the contest win a Chick-fil-A lunch right before Christmas break.
Other activities for Day of Giving include:
- Blanket making
- Making decorations for the hallways
- Creating crafts for senior citizens
- Cleaning up local trails
- Volunteering at the Bellwood-Antis Library
- Painting posters
- Decorating the district office
- Making cards for shut-ins, veterans, and children/patients in the hospital
- Cleaning the playground at Myers
- Decorating the hallways
