To remember the 25 year anniversary of the September 11th tragedy, Robeson Elementary Center started a service project called “25 Years Later, We Choose Kindness.” This Service Project lasted from September 11th to September 25th. Each student was introduced to 25 ideas you or your family could do to spread a positive light in our community. Each classroom picked 4 acts to complete and some teachers allowed the students to pick their own 4 acts to be completed at school. Each student was also given one paper candle and asked to be kind or helpful to someone that is not part of your family. The student wrote what they did on the candle and brought it to school to hang around their classroom door.

If a student or family chose to complete an act of kindness or service, there was a table in the school lobby that students brought their cards, pictures, or donated items to school. At the conclusion of the project, staff members delivered these items to local organizations such as the Honeybrook Food Pantry, the Animal Rescue League, Life Lion Paramedics, the Reading Hospital, Keystone Military Families, and local businesses and service organizations. Thank you to the REC students, staff, and families for all your efforts to give back to our community for 25 days during the month of September.
