Mesa fifth-graders learn the gift of giving
Young philanthropists
Jordan Hendrix, a sixth grader at Holmes Elementary School, wears “grandma clothes” at an assembly to demonstrate what type of clothes children in the foster system might receive. In her hand, she has a more stylish shirt that children who shop at Helen’s Hope Chest might receive. [Stacie Spring/Tribune]

[smile] As a Mesa teacher it makes me proud to hear of schools doing this sort of thing. It humbles me when I read about the work of people like Mr. Whiteman who would support a program such as this. How can one not have hope with stuff like this happening? Thank you, Mr. Whiteman, thank you Holmes Elementary

[sad]....Here I was all set to read an nice, inspiring "kiddie story" in the EVT and what do I get at the end.......MORE LIBERAL/PROGRESSIVE/DEMOCRAT.....ANTI-REPUBLICAN, ANTI-ARIZONA .........NAME CALLING.
ISN'T THERE ONE...JUST ONE......BALANCED, UN-BIASED UN-EMPLOYED REPORTER OUT THERE IN THE WHOLE STATE OF ARIZONA WHO CAN WRITE A STORY AND NOT ............INJECT HIS LIBERAL POLITICS.
IF YOU WANT TO BE .."CHARITABLE"...THE BE CHARITABLE..........LEAVE THE LIBERAL POLITICS OUT OF THE PROGRAM. USING SCHOOL CHILDREN TO PUSH YOUR POLITICAL AGENDA IS BENEATH CONTEMPT.
