The annual Black Lake Elementary Spaghetti Feed is a tradition for the 6th graders. They were going to use the money raised this year for their space camp that is coming up in a few weeks, however due to our fabulous Christmas wreath sale we already had enough funds. Therefore, they decide to focus on helping others. Students were totally in charge of this event! They cooked, provided entertainment, bussed the tables, were the servers, hostess/hosts, clean up crew, etc. Very few parents were needed to help but a few of us were there doing our part. I was so impressed with how well everything went. These 6th graders were so responsible and took this seriously. My son Jordan was a server, he wore a suit but by the end of the evening he shed the tie and jacket! I was a server in the kitchen, I helped oversee the spaghetti scoopers! I had to get my gloved hand in there and scoop some spaghetti & pass plates but really these kids kept things moving so well, it was easy.
The monetary donations were about $500!! Plus lots of food for our local food bank. The money raised will go directly toward helping Pakistan through World Vision, six months after devastating floods, the needs are still great.
