My Project

This project is set to help the students remember the loss of one of our students through art, dance supplies, and a puppet as she loved butterflies and puppets. “Thank you little one and we love you - we will celebrate your love of art and your love of puppets. We are thankful we knew you”

We will use the paints and paper to celebrate the loss of our class mate and friend to create a memorial craft.

We miss and love our friend. Thank you to the family that continued to donate this past year. K-1 is thankful for your beautiful donation to our class. We are hopeful to get this project funded!
