"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." Winston Churchill.

Dear Flushing Family,

Want to feel happy? Try helping at home with the dishes, make lunch for your sister or brother, call a friend. Science has shown that when you help others, your body produces endorphins, the same hormones your body makes after a run. Want to read more? Check out the Action for Happiness Organization.

This year FHS has joined with @StudentsRebuildHungerChallenge. Learn about world hunger. Create a recipe to help cure world hunger. Take a picture of your creative recipe and submit it to Ms. Bayer. Each recipe submitted will be matched with an $8.00 donation for @UNICEF, @MarysMeals and other community-based organizations, up to $700K funded by @Bezos Family Foundation. See Studentsrebuild.org/hunger for details. Use this outline to write your recipe.

Read these articles to learn more about hunger and food insecurity.

Students have created their own Little Pantry Food Exchange Book, decorated placemats for Meals on Wheels recipients. These projects are described in the book Makers With a Cause by Gina Seymour, available as an ebook from Gale.
