Part of the IB philosophy is student action/service. Ms. Tecza’s second grade class from Blythe Elementary School (an IB World School) discussed ways to give back to the community during the holidays so the focus is not on receiving, but giving to others. They collected items for the children at Levine’s Children’s hospital, made a banner and did crafts for those children as well. Ms. Tecza will be making a very special delivery to Levine’s Children's Hospital! _________________________________________________________________________________________
