This year, Ms. Russo's fifth grade class decided that they
wanted to help the people in their community.

We decided to have a cook out for people in their
town who were homeless so that they could have a
good meal for free. We decided to donate our meals
to Our House Families, a local homeless shelter.

First, though, we had to raise money
to buy the food for the dinner. Our class was
divided into groups. Each group was assigned
a different part of the project. The fund raising
group was in charge of raising money and they
decided to have a car wash. They also had the
idea to have a bake sale at the car wash, so
people could enjoy a snack while their car was
being washed. We didn't set a price for the car
wash. Instead, we just asked for donations.
Our class raised $350!

After we raised the money, we had to
decide what we wanted to serve. As a
class, we created a menu that had drinks, hot
dogs, hamburgers, chips, fruit and soda.
We also included things like ketchup,
mustard, cheese, relish, and mayonnaise.
Last, we made sure to put plates, cups,
and napkins on there, too!

The next group was in charge of grocery shopping
and making sure we were buying everything for the
lowest price. Each member of this group was in
charge of finding out the prices of each menu item
at their assigned grocery store. Some grocery stores
listed their prices online, but some people had to go
to the store to research prices. The group found that
most of the groceries were cheapest from Farm
Fresh, but there were a few items that were less
expensive at other stores.

While the group was grocery shopping,
another group was multiplying the recipes.
Each recipe fed about ten people and we
were planning on having over fifty, so each
recipe needed to be multiplied by five.
This was especially true for the desserts.

The last group was in charge of sending out
invitations. They created invitations on
our class computer and Ms. Russo delivered
them to the local homeless shelters. Even though
it was going to be at the homeless shelter, we
wanted to deliver invitations so that it felt like a
party.
