I think it is a good idea because it is good for our enviroment.One thing I do to save our community is that I recycle bottels. I keep them when we finish drinking them and I put them in the recycle bin.

I think that is a great idea.Every time I come home I always see trash on the ground.I can pick up trash every 3rd saturday of a month.I can also rake leaves and do other things to make our community look clean.

I think it's like super awesome how all these people are doing huge things to help under privledged children. I have always wanted to do some stuff like that but, I'v just been lazy, I didn't think i could accomplish something like that, but obviously it's possible. Good rolemodels i think! :D

Us 6A students of Hanley International Academy can connect to this article. We realized that our school lunches have affected us in a bad way. So we confronted our principle to change our school lunches and to make it more healthy. We even scheduled a meeting to tell us why we should change our lunches. The next school lunch calender came out and we saw a tremendous emprovement in our school lunches. And 6A students were satisfied!

Yes, we all think volunteer work is very important.
Several students have been helping me in the classroom all year, so I can be better prepared for classes. One even has a paid job right here!
