My Students

"Believing that within you in the ability to change the world is the first step in making a differences." - Dan Waldschmit This quote describes the students in my class that will be working towards making a difference within the community.

The 23 students that will participate in this philanthropy will be making a difference in the lives of others.

They are always lively and ready to learn. When you walk into the class you are greeted with smiles, chatter, and happiness. They enjoy hands-on learning and being able to teach others how to make a difference in the lives of others who less fortunate. My students want to show the world, how to make someone's day just a little bit brighter.

My Project

My students will use the toner and paint puff pens in order to create signs to hang up around our school and our neighborhood. The signs will help my students to promote kindness within our community. It will encourage them to be the best "me" they can be.

My students will be delivering kindness to everyone around them!

We will be proving and demonstrating for others how all the little things in life do count and can change a person's life.

My students goal is to bring joy and happiness to those around them. Help us grow! We will then be able to help others!
