VIDEO: Sixth Graders Add It Up For Charity

For the 14th consecutive year, sixth grade math teachers Lisa Geinert, Dan Nielsen and Tanya Ravenholdt will have more than 300 of their students adding up discounts and tax at their school grocery store.

This week students not only learned how to use math in a real world setting, but helped stock the food shelves for in Plymouth.

The nonprofit partnered with the school, giving them a list of items that are in demand for those in need.

 Armed with their own shopping lists, students each had an individualized task of finding items that fit a specific sales tax and discount. The students collected what's on their list, calculated everything, wrote out a "check" for the grocery bill and turned the bill in as an assignment.

Then, on Dec. 16, the items were boxed up and brought to IOCP by parent volunteers and students.
