Twin Spring Farm Elementary Students Kick-off Year of Community Service with Manna on Main Street Project

Community Service Projects for TSF Elementary Students September: Manna on Main Street

What is Manna on Main Street?
Manna on Main Street is committed to ending hunger in the North Penn region by providing food, fulfilling social service and education needs, and conducting community outreach. Through a food pantry and soup kitchen, emergency financial aid, counseling and referrals, and education opportunities, we serve those in need with the hope “that everyone might be fed.”

Earlier this week, families, teachers, and staff brought in numerous boxes of snacks to be used for the Manna on Main community service project. On Thursday, Pre-First, 1st and 2nd graders, were organized into 4 groups. One teacher served as the leader and mixed the bowl of donated snacks. The students, wearing plastic gloves, bagged hundreds of bags of snacks to be donated to Manna on Main so that they can give them to students in the Boys and Girls Clubs in after school programs in North Penn.

Mrs. Seligman led a brief introduction to the project that explained the importance of donating food and time to make these snack packs. Our students worked consistently throughout the hour to make as many bags as possible. More bags were made during our Sundowner program (after school). Through the community service projects, TSF students learn about helping others, compassion, and understanding.

Twin Spring Farm Day School in Ambler is an independent school that has been serving students for over 50 years. TSF takes pride in offering a traditional education in a unique setting and with a variety of enrichment opportunities at each level (preschool through Elementary) including field trips, community service, multiple specials that meet several times a week (i.e gym, music, art, Spanish, technology), and small-class sizes that meet the needs of every child.

Nursery and Transitional Kindergarten programs are available 5 days a week either half- or full-day. Pre-First (equivalent in year to public Kindergarten) is full-day and prepares students for First Grade. The Elementary grades prepare students to transition to public or private schools.
