Students at Plano's Faith Lutheran School recently observed the school's "Celebrate Life Week."
"Students studied from a special curriculum designed to celebrate all stages of life," explained Faith Lutheran School fourth grade teacher Cheryl Wildauer of Allen. "Students in grades 6-8 attended two sessions of a special program called '180 Degrees.'"
A monetary collection was taken for Real Options for Women. Real Options for Women is a local information resource for women facing unplanned pregnancies, a gateway to medical care and a provider of STD screening for those at risk of infection.
A unique monetary donation program called "Baby Bottles for Life" was used to collect funds for the group. Each student was given a baby bottle to be filled with coins, bills and checks for the non-profit group. Baby clothing was also collected and donated for distribution to some of the clients of the facility. The Faith Lutheran Church ladies sewing group also donated a number of baby quilts to accompany the donated baby clothing.
Students, faculty and staff were also given green ribbons to wear each day during the week to remind them of the importance of life.
