Student Successes
Sarah Capps, an eighth grade student at Meadows, has a passion for helping people. She created a service project for the residence at Spurgeon Manor. She made 35 fleece blankets and wrote an individual card to go with each blanket. “It was so much fun. Seeing their faces and hearing them say thank you was nice. It was also cool to see how happy they were to get to keep the blanket.”
Sarah is involved in 4H and the Meadows 8th grade band. She has spent time volunteering for Alex’s Lemonade Stand and the Grimes Food Pantry. Earlier this year, she applied for the Prudential Spirit of Community Award, an honor that highlights middle school students that are making a difference through volunteering. Sarah is consistently choosing to make a difference in her community and positively impact those around her. “It doesn’t matter how old you are. You can do things that make a difference,” she says.
