The Hearts and Minds of Elementary Students Hard at Work in Millstone By Pam Teel Seven passionate Millstone Township Elementary School students decided to do something to help other children in Puerto Rico after both hurricane Irma and Maria decimated the island. The group consists of three 3rd graders, and four 5th graders. They are a part of a Destination Imagine Group and they are doing a project called Inside Impact. Inside Impact is a challenge by which they identify a real need in a community and create a project to help fulfill their need. They were very distressed with the damage recently caused by the two hurricanes and they wanted to help its victims. They decided to concentrate their efforts on helping Puerto Rican children on their return to school by sending them school supplies. Knowing that other organizations and charities were helping with food, water and clothing, they focused on helping to get the children much needed supplies so they could have an easier time going back to school. The seven students have reached out for help from their friends, other children, teachers in the Elementary, Middle & Primary schools, the community, and the Middlesex County Bar Association to request funding for shipping and present written proposals to local school principals and orthodontists. The children meet at present on Tuesday mornings, after school, and once every other Saturday to continue the good work. The supplies are pouring in and now they are in need of monetary donations to help ship these items. They now officially are a non-profit charity cor- poration they call KINDNESS 4 KIDS, Inc., and have set up a gofundme account to collect donations for shipping and to purchase other needed items like pens, paper, pencils and backpacks. The group has managed to collect approximately 10 large boxes of school supplies and have shipped at least 4 boxes so far to a school in a rural area in Puerto Rico. Presently there is a collection box at the Primary School and one at Relentless Fitness in Freehold. Donations can be sent to the Millstone Elementary or Middle School or contact them on facebook for a drop off address. Facebook- look under Kindness 4 kids. If you have a business and wouldn’t mind the students putting one of their drop off boxes in your establishment, please feel free to facebook them.
