My Project

Many children go through their school day doing kind, helpful, and thoughtful things without ever being recognized. Whether it's helping a classmate, showing quiet leadership, or simply showing up with a positive attitude, their contributions often go unnoticed.

To encourage and support students, I make an effort to write them personal thank-you notes.

These small gestures can have a big impact, letting a student know they are seen, appreciated, and valued can boost their confidence and help them feel more connected to school.

This project will provide the supplies I need to continue writing these notes of encouragement and recognition. With your support, I’ll be able to regularly celebrate the students who may not always receive the spotlight but absolutely deserve it.
