Hawthorne School fourth graders made Thanksgiving placemats for the Meals-on-Wheels Association. The placemats were delivered with the Thanksgiving meals that go to seniors receiving the service. “Students connect to the community as they learn that some people have limited mobility and are not able to prepare food for themselves. They understand that each year the seniors look forward to receiving the colorful placemats,” said Linda DiNoble, who coordinated the service learning project with Jaime LeBlanc and Ellen Poltorak.
