Spreading Seeds of Kindness

Help me give my students a chance to spread wellness to others through planting!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Griffin's classroom raised $460

This project is fully funded

My Project

Social-emotional learning and compassion in action are pillars of our school community. During these cold winter months many students and staff members have been sick or feeling sad. Our students are looking to do a project that will help others feel better.

This project aims to spread joy and wellness through community service and gardening.

First and second graders will participate in decorating the pots and planting to gift to someone else who has been feeling down. We are hoping the plants and small gesture will uplift our community and promote a spirit of wellness.
