Gerber Baby Food- Glass Baby Food Jar Collection

4th grade students are progressing well in Language Arts and began a unit on business today in class. Students learned about the the Gerber Baby Food Company and how Dan and Dorothy Gerber founded this company in the late 1920's out of a desire to find an easier way to provide food for their own baby.

Students learned about creating a business plan and the pro's and con's of starting a successful business. In an effort to extend their learning and as an exercise of being good stewards of God's creation....4th graders are starting a glass baby food jar drive. Students are asked to collect empty,sanitized glass baby food jars to bring to class to use for future art projects. While Gerber Baby food provides a great service to parents across the country, the glass jars are not biodegradable and should be reused or recycled whenever possible. As Ambassadors of Hope the 4th grade class has set out on a mission to collect as many emptied glass baby jars as possible to be reused in the classroom for future art projects. Thanks so much!!
