The Kensington School, a preschool, founded in 2010 to provide a safe, nurturing and developmentally-appropriate environment for infant, toddler and pre-school age children is caring for others, this Holiday season. What a gift for the preschool children: the lesson of giving! The children learned, this season, that caring for your community and the others less fortunate, during the holidays, is community service. The Kensington School had a contest between the classrooms for items donated and the 4/5 year olds WON! They donated 71 items to the FISH organization. Coming in a close second was the Baby Room. Gotta love those babies doing community service, already!! Seriously, though, the Baby Classroom donated 52 items to FISH and overall, as a school, The Kensington School donated 316 items!
FISH, Inc. serves Williamsburg residents and is fully volunteer operated.
Missions, such as this Food Drive, help make the holidays a lot brighter for the Williamsburg community and the donations truly touch many hearts and help many people.
