St. Matthew Grade 5 Home Away From Home Project

Our Grade 5 class began to reflect on the meaning of home. We wrote poems and pieces that described what home meant to us. We came across the story of the Andrew's family who had a sick child in the hospital waiting for a heart transplant. We read her story (and the story of others) and were inspired to help families have a home away from home as they waited in hope for their seriously ill child to recover. We wanted to help and do our part as we are blessed with health and many other gifts and talents.
