Local Food Pantry Research Week 2

This week in Holmes Heroes, the 8th grade students in the local hunger group researched different topics. My group specifically researched local food pantries. We researched local food pantries to look for the different places we can donate food or volunteer time. 

Last week,we focused on asking questions, and curiosity. This week we discussed the questions we had and this is what we found, there were many different pantries in our area and some of them were churches such as Lutheran Church of the Cross and St. Edna, and others were Self Help Closet & Food Pantry and The Northwest Compass Inc. Check in next Friday to hear about our action plan.

Why is curiosity so important? Week 1

As 8th graders we have been learning about the beauty of asking questions. From the time that we learn to talk we begin asking questions, but the real question is, how do questions make us more informed citizens? 

We ask questions because we are curious, and before we can move forward with our plan of action we need to ask questions to decide what we know and what we don't know. This week our local hunger group came together and asked as many questions as we can in six minutes and this is what we came up with...

The questions that we ask are meaningful and important to get to the bottom of the real issue of "Local Hunger". This upcoming week we are going to break off and choose a question that we have to answer and report to the group. Check back in next Friday to hear about our progress!

Hello! We are the Holmes Heroes and our mission is to end local hunger. Our group meets every Friday to discuss our plan to solve local hunger.
