Yesterday I had the privilege - and I do mean that! - of volunteering with the eighth graders from Kenwood Trail Middle School (MIcah's school) and Century Middle School at Feed My Starving Children at Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church in Prior Lake. What a hoot! They were piping music through the sanctuary and the kids were singing at the top of their lungs. But work? Oh, did they ever! My table alone packed 31 boxes of food! Together, we packed 271 boxes, enough meals to feed 515 children one meal a day for a year! Why is that important? Well, in less than an hour, our family will be back at the church for some "forced family fun time" and soon you'll know if we packed more or less than yesterday's group!
A highlight of the day? These three friends were in the same class in kindergarten and first grade, then district boundary changes separated them. But put them in a group of six hundred eighth graders and they were like magnets!
