When his neighbor's house burned recently, St. John Bosco Academy 4th grader Cody Crea wanted to help.  With his mom, he met with the family at the hotel they'd been relocated to and asked what they needed.  They then reached out to the community to see if they could provide those items.  Cody's classmates helped gather the donations including diapers, clothes, snacks and small games, and they were delivered to the family last week. Great job Cody, in seeing a need and helping to fill it!  You are a great example of how to love and serve your neighbor! Pictured with the donations from left are: Cody Crea, Joshua Warren, Kael Dieseldorff, Gabe Seubert, Brooklynn Spencer, Cassidy Bock, Ella Enneking, Oniece Edmonds, Kaelyn Lustig, Maddie Duman, Jeselyn Blakley and Ana Brown.
