The Riddle Elementary Student Lighthouse Team recently donated $854 worth of toys from an Amazon wishlist to the Peyton Manning Children's Hospital in Indianapolis.
The team worked hard to establish their "why". Their goal was to "provide comfort to children in a hospital."
They decided to host a Market Days event held in February. The team worked, on their own time, to create handmade items to sell. They set up their items on the Riddle stage to sell their items alongside the Junior Student Lighthouse Team, who helped to market the items for sale. These items, including pet rocks, hand-drawn posters, candy grams, paintings, jewelry, and more, brought in over a whopping $850!
The team researched hospitals and chose to partner with Child Life in Indianapolis. The students called the hospital to find out how to best serve them. They were directed to an Amazon wishlist filled with a ton of toys and items for their patients. The team filled out purchase orders to place orders for their gifts.
The students were able to donate 47 toys and items of need to the Peyton Manning Children's Hospital! The team would like to thank the Riddle Elementary School community for the generous donations made to their cause.
