🥳 Congrats to Hampstead Elementary School they are this months winner of the Chick-Fil-A Everyday Heroes Award presented by Baltimore Area Chick-Fil-A Restaurants! 🥳⁠
⁠
In Regina Michel's fifth grade classroom at Hampstead Elementary School, it's not just the students who have their eyes on her during the day's lessons.⁠
⁠
"I have [some] pets in my classroom, turtles and fish. The kids get really excited, they want to help animals," she said.⁠
⁠
So it's no surprise that among the many charities that the fifth grade classes, along with the rest of the school, support is the Humane Society of Carroll County. Michel said they've been collecting donations for the animal shelter for more than 20 years.⁠
⁠
"Most kids this age are interested in animals so when I tell them stories about the humane society, the families here in Hampstead, not just the kids, but the families are very supportive," she said.⁠
⁠
Giving back is ingrained in the students at Hampstead and they've done quite a few community service projects this year, including collecting books to send to a school in Ohio for their library and collecting canned goods for families in need.⁠
⁠
With each activity, the students are getting hands-on experience of making a difference.⁠
