Learning and Giving — The Third Grade Soup Project The third grade has been cooking soup for the faculty each month for about 15 years. They also sell pizza to grades three — five and make and sell chutney and jam. Besides exposure to cooking techniques and learning to figure out cost per portion for each ingredient, there is an ulterior motive behind these activities. The third graders donate all the proceeds to charities they choose. They have discussions in class about types of charities, and then they vote on the recipients. Teacher Lisa Totman ’56 says, “Some years we have been heavy into health because of the kids in the class or people they know, and we always give to Project Mothercare at St. Raphael's Hospital as they take a van into the neighborhoods giving checkups and prenatal care to those who can't get to a doctor. The Red Cross (Tsunami, Haiti, China Earthquake), local soup kitchens or homeless shelters, and Foote (especially scholarship funds) are often on the list. The teachers try to be sure the children understand what they are giving to. All of us feel it is so important to give — and to start giving young.” In each of the last several years the third grade has given between $2,500 and $3,000 to charities chosen by the children. This year’s proceeds, $2,700, were divided among Foote’s financial aid fund, the new science discovery room, the Diaper Bank, Water for People, American Red Cross, and several other local charities. 27
