“Home is Where the Heart is…”
On December 3rd, 2014 our teacher,
Miss Manning and her family had a fire in their home. So we decided to start
the Manning family fund, called “Home is Where the Heart is.”
Luckily, the family was
working that day, and they didn’t have any pets, so no one got hurt. The
Mashpee community was very helpful to the Manning family. Restaurants in Mashpee
let them eat there for free and the firemen who were camping at the Mashpee rotary
had a special donations day for the Mannings.
“I feel so lucky to be in
a place like Mashpee where everyone wants to help and support with kindness,”
said Miss Manning.
Our school wrote tons of heartwarming
messages to let them know how much we cared. Teachers at the Quashnet School
offered them a place to stay. Stella Stecei, Annika Lakatos, Gabriela Santos,
and Kailyn Westgate had a donations box at the 3rd through 6th
grade lunches and at the office. With all the donations, we collected
$1,174.66.
“I felt extremely appreciative of everyone in
town reaching out through their donations and well wishes,” Miss Manning said.
“I felt really proud of the girls, because it was generous. I also felt so
grateful to have such kind and caring students helping.”
On December 18th
2014, our school wrapped up the Manning family fund.
“Thank you Mashpee community
for all the donations and working together hand in hand. We’re delighted that
the Mannings’ hearts are filled with love and gratitude,” the four girls said.
“We were very glad to see
the Mannings back and smiling everyday,” said the girls. When the four girls
told the Mannings how much money they raised, their faces lit up with enough
energy to light a whole room.
Miss Manning’s whole class
exclaimed, “We were proud to return the favor of helping Miss Manning. Every
day, she is by our side, caring and helping to educate us!!!”
The class will never forget the day they
learned how special it felt to help someone in need.
