Our Greatest Impact
The other day I was blown away by the students of Tallmadge Middle School and the level of compassion they have for the people we serve at Haven of Rest. These students are amazing and through their own creative efforts presented Jan Pluck, volunteer coordinator, and myself with a check for over $2100 to Haven of Rest.
When we arrived at the school to pick up the check, you could feel the students’ enthusiasm in the air. Teachers and students from three different classes were proud of their combined efforts and at the same time excited about the difference they were making with their gift-raised from individuals and businesses in the community and through ticket sales from their Student vs. Staff basketball game. The caring hearts of Tallmadge Middle School’s faculty, staff, and parents ignited their passion.
Life is so much more than what we can get. In fact, our greatest impact will come from what we are able to give during our lives. The students of Tallmadge Middle School have demonstrated this important life lesson very early in their lives, and that is what we are recognizing!
