Feeling chilly? ❄️ Try warming up with a hot cup of your own homemade herbal tea blend, like the 5th-6th graders in Pilot Light Fellow Mary Grace O’Shea’s classroom @chicagojesuitacademy!
Last month, students broke into small groups to create their own blends using dried herbs like peppermint, chamomile, and lemon balm. 🍵
“It was particularly exciting for the boys to see just how simple it is to make your own tea bag with fresh herbs at home. We discussed the positive impacts that tea has on our health, particularly in moments of stress or sickness. Additional tea bags made for a perfect early Christmas gift to take home to their adults!” -Pilot Light Educator Mary Grace O’Shea
What’s in your favorite tea? 🫖

"We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.” -Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Last year, Pilot Light Fellow Mr. Albrecht used this quote to introduce his middle school students to the concept of advocacy and using MLK Day as a day of service for their communities. Students then joined the @kingarthurbaking "Bake for Good" challenge by baking two loaves of bread: one to keep, and one to give to @thelovefridgechicago. Students baked together as a class, and also took time over their weekend to bake bread with their families. We love how this service project brings together all members of the community and builds connection through food!
Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day - what are you working in service of today?
