We read and responded to a story in Writing titled "Young Heroes: Katie Stagliano's Dream." The text was about a third grade student who planted a cabbage and how that one action turned into a way to feed her community and make an impact around the world. Her story is inspiring!

A story to share

Kate Stagliano Helping Her Community
By: Jordan Mullins
When Kate Stagliano was 9 years old, she harvested a huge cabbage. The cabbage was way bigger than her family needed. She thought about what to do with it. Then she decided she would donate it to a soup kitchen. It fed more than 275 people.
Katie wanted to help hunger by getting kids to plant veggie gardens and donate the harvest to people in hunger. Kate got her whole school involved. The students planted a huge garden, but Kate knew she could do more than that.
More than 60 gardens around the country are being grown by kids because of Kate. The kids have donated thousands of pounds of veggietables to stop hunger. This is how Kate combines gardening and helping her community.
