For the classroom
Students in Fargo, North Dakota, surprised first responders and veterans with candy, Valley News Live reported. It is the fifth year of the project. Students at Lewis and Clark Elementary packed bags of candy and put handwritten notes inside. Honors students from South High used a day off from school to deliver the bags to veterans, firefighters, police, and EMTs. A fifth year means the schools have done this before. The notes are what make each bag a thank-you, not only a snack.
