🥳 Congrats to 5th graders at Matapeake Elementary they are this months winner of the Chick-Fil-A Everyday Heroes Award presented by Baltimore Area Chick-Fil-A Restaurants! 🥳⁠
⁠
When WMAR-2 News went to visit David Cherry's 5th grade class at Matapeake Elementary in late May, the kids were soaking in their last few days at this school before heading off to middle school next year.⁠
⁠
We were there to talk about one of their last big projects as 5th graders, known as "Market Day."⁠
⁠
"Market Day is basically the 5th grade service learning project," said Cherry. "The kids are charged with making a product, they sell, they produce and we try to make it environmentally friendly."⁠
⁠
The kids are encouraged to make things out of recycled materials and they spend months coming up with the products and putting them together. Cherry said some of the items this year included handbags made out of dog and cat food bags, seashell jewelry and pet rocks.⁠
⁠
The 5th grade then holds its Market Day in mid-May for the entire school, where students and staff can shop. The proceeds go to a charity, chosen by the students. This year, the recipient was Chesapeake Cats and Dogs.⁠
