My Project

My students are excited to help the dynamics of our school environment. They want to write inspirational quotes for those in need in our community and give them as a small token of hope.

Giving small tokens such as these handmade sweatshirts with inspirational quotations will be their random acts of kindness will boost up the spirits of those that are ill in the local hospital.Studies show that being in a better mood helps healing and we think these sweatshirts will help.

We are in dire need of the supplies.

Not only will those in need benefit but so will my students.

We are working on. Social Emotional Lessons and this will piggyback them. In addition, research shows that people who help others have been found to have higher self-esteem and overall wellbeing.We need these items desperately.

When students get involved in community service, they not only help others — they expand their worldview, develop empathy and leadership skills, and realize how their actions can have a positive impact. Please help us learn this lesson through action.
