My Students

ENERGETIC! HIGHLY MOTIVATED! EXCITABLE! INQUISITVE! These are some of the words I would use to describe my Special Ed 3rd graders. They are always looking to better things in their world and question why things happen. They come from a low socio-economic area that can use some help in fixing up the area.

My students want to BEAUTIFY their surroundings and school, "because a beautiful area will encourage more learning and produce NICER, SMARTER children who grow up to be more productive adults."

By donating to our project, you willhelp these students make a difference and show them that THEY CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE in their world.

My Project

The Rocks Project will inspire others through randomly placed rocks , encourage others to joi9n in the persuit of inspiring others through random acts of kindness.

One message at just the right moment can change someonesentire day, outlook, life.

My students want to make a greater impact on their neighborhood, surroundings and classmates.

This lesson teaches the kids an important lesson in random acts of kindness.

Its a wonderful movement that encourages people to decorate rocks with inspirational messages and leave them in random places for people to find.We need paint and brushes to make this happen. We want to start a Garden FULL of these rocks, allowing people to take one when they feel they need it or add to it.Producing a good feeling and helping others fel more confident about themselves.
