My Project

We love helping local charities with our Donors Choose Kindness Community.

We have been super busy, the students have designed fliers, some using technology like Google, some future artists custom designed each, we have been visiting neighbors and calling grandparents, we have been collecting pledges to fund this amazing community service engagement project to build compassion, practice empathy and kindness, while helping an amazing cause.

My students actually came up with this project idea and ask to write it up for them. My students seek out ideas that will either help our schools or help our local community. Community service builds compassion through practice of all these skills. Two of my students are actually volunteering there to train and socialize rescues before they are up for adoption. We are champions of charity and I have seen so many amazing changes in their great character traits and social skills. This is proof of how beneficial practicing those skills is on a daily basis if possible. Please help us get these items for one of our local pet rescues in our area, so we can develop empathy by practicing kindness and compassion through charity work! We would love to be able to support this wonderful organization by buying things desperately needed by their charity for their work in rescuing all kinds of local pets: pigs, guinea pigs, kittens, puppies, hedgehogs, reptiles of many kind and lord knows what else! These incubators, medical things, warming pads, food, formula, calming toys with soothing heartbeat sounds, and a million other needed items! Thank you for helping my students with this project that is truly from the heart! Our class pet Bubbles Butterscotch Swirl saw this and wanted to help, immediately talking our class into it.
