Remember...
Happy Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving Food Drive
Kindness and Caring X 250!
A since thank you to each of you for encouraging your students to participate in our North Texas Food Pantry Drive.
We clearly surpassed our goal of 1 can per family! Our final count? We were well over 1000!
It is also a wonderful time to teach children empathy and how small acts of kindness can make a big difference.
I hope you will continue sharing during Circle Time and with your grade level families the opportunity they have through acts of kindness and caring that they can 'be the difference in the world.'
A special shout out to Carol for coordinating the Canned Food Drive from start to finish!
Kind heart, kind deeds...truly matter!
