Students have an opportunity to make a difference in the issue of kids' hunger in their community. Students give their time to make trail mix, which they donate to a local agency (such as Kids Food Basket in Grand Rapids, MI). Also, students represent collected data using a bar graph and practice communication and letter-writing skills as they reflect and write a letter describing the event of making trail mix.
