My Project

The children in our school are learning about empathy and caring about our community. As we continue to learn about what it means to have these feelings and the affects our actions have, I think this project would be a wonderful experience for my students.

The students and I are so grateful for the many items we have received to be able to continue working in our classroom without having to worry so much about finding materials, supplies, etc.....THANKS to our donors who have been so generous to keep us going.

And now, we are being provided with this special way to give to our community!

If possible, I would like this opportunity for my students to provide other children, specifically those who are ill and in need with the requested items in this project. At the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, there are many children who are sick and would love to have these games, puzzles, and activities to give their mind a break from all the suffering and worrying of their illness. The toys would provide a distraction from the stress and reduce feelings of loneliness. It would be a joy for my students to be able to send heart warming messages of encouragement and to know that they are putting smiles on children's faces and touching their hearts.
