My Project

Nearly two years ago, one of our students was tragically killed. Again, this student's close group of friends plan to walk to their former elementary school on the anniversary of her death to talk about her with the younger students, do some friendship crafts, share stories about friendship, and share positive thoughts while remembering her.

Friendship Day, as we have come to call it, has been made into an annual event in her honor.

Our students really enjoyed making goodie bags to bring to the elementary students last year to make the day even sweeter. They also will be making friendship bracelets with the kids and reading books about friendship with them.

It is a beautiful day to remember and celebrate a beautiful soul that was taken from us too soon.
