(sheila) homelessness is an issue that affects people all over siouxland. so, a group of sioux city middle school girls decided to do something about it. (matt) ktiv's tommie clark met those students who say they just want to make a difference.

these students are part of a female empowerment group called girls circle. they focus on building each other up verses tearing each other down and helping out in their community. a couple of weeks ago during their weekly meetings, they decided to do something about homelessness by making "blessing bags." "girls circle teaches middle schoolers how they can make a big difference with just one of these blessing bags." "when we opened up group we always open up with a intro question of the day and the question of the day was what is one thing in our community when you see it or witness it, makes you a little sad and it was overwhelmingly homelessness," said juvenile court liason for sioux city schools and girls circle facilitator, margarite reinert. the group of over 50 7th and 8th grade girls reached out to the rest of the student body and asked for personal care and cold weather items. and tuesday, they grabbed some bags and started putting those items together. "it's important to have the girls really look at empathy, but also knowing that the things that pull on their hearts, they can make a difference even with the small little things-- the random act of kindness is not only good for them, but good for the

community as well," said juvenile court liason for sioux city schools and girl circle facilitator, margarite reinert. "so we know that we've helped out community and they're getting stuff out of it and also to help us feel like we've accomplished something," said east middle school 8th grader, heavenleigh pettiford. in sioux city...tommie clark...ktiv news 4.>> the blessing bags will be taken to the siouxland sleepout for the homeless this friday. still to come.... it was a battle of the bots at morningside elementary today as students tested out their

"it works," said nathan stokes. sixth grader nathan stokes and his group, the patriots, fine tune their lego robot. "from getting it to here all the

"i noticed a lot of them were having problems that they had to fix while doing the competition," said chance jensen. though different ages and grades, chance jensen and stokes and everything you see is part of sioux city schools stem program. "i didn't think it was for me but there are so many things you have to work on it," said chance jensen.

"we now have six middle school teams and seven high school teams," said april tidwell. and it's not all robotics. this north high groups science project is set to go to the international space station at some point. they're testing if allergies exist in space. twice now the rocket carrying their project has exploded before getting there. "we didn't really change much but we got more time to think about it and how we're going to analyze the results when they got back," said robert hwang. as the lessons students learn is large. many will agree it comes with plenty of trial and error. "we also had to remodel our robot," said stokes. in sioux city, sam curtiss, ktiv news four. on december 5th, those middle school students will put their robots to a real test in a regional competition. still to come.... pot was on the ballot in ohio today and voters voted down to legalize it. the latest on ohio's decision.
