Seymour 6th graders send care packages to soldiers in Afghanistan
SEYMOUR - The Seymour Middle School 6th grade social studies classes, led by Ashley Castaldi and Chris Alcutt, sponsored a care package drive to collect items such as toiletries, snacks, and K-9 supplies for soldiers who are currently deployed overseas.
The purpose of this drive was to promote good citizenship, volunteerism, and to participate in an activity that promotes social awareness.
This activity was centered on the celebration of veterans. The students were able to understand what sacrifices soldiers make, such as not having access to everyday items they may take for granted.
The care packages were sent to 6th grade teacher Dina Garrow’s brother-in-law’s unit currently stationed in Afghanistan.
