This Sunday, some Ethical Societies across the country will be sharing how their students put ethics into action. I wanted to take this opportunity to share how our own students have helped the community in the past several months. 

As you may know, our students do a service activity each month. This year, I've focused on bringing student choice into the activities and sharing the impact with the kids to help them understand the value that these activities bring to the community. 

• In September, we made cards for a charity that supports trans youth and adults.
  
• In October, we trick-or-treated for donations, which went to two charities that the kids selected. 
• In November, we made no-sew fleece blankets that we donated to Atheists Helping the Homeless. (Quick plug, they're doing a distribution at the Silver Sprint metro on 2/4 -- contact them if you'd like to participate!)

On Sunday, we'll do our January service project by making Valentine's Day cards to sell for charity. We'll select the charity as a group and work on the cards while we watch the AEU Shared Platform to see what other Ethical Societies are doing to give back.
