Our Kindness Cup Overflows!!
Wonders never cease to amaze me! When we embarked on the Kindness Project at Avoca West this winter, none of us "at the helm" had any idea the outpouring of generosity that would come from our families. A huge thanks to our Helping Hands kiddos, Mrs. Karen Azar, and all of the many parents, families, and staff members who rallied behind this worthy event. The folks at Journeys will be thrilled to receive and to dole out the carfuls that will be dropped of by them at the end of this week. If you have donations you'd still like to bring in, we'll be happy to make sure it gets to the right place!
Thank you for continuing to encourage a spirit of mindfulness towards others for our children!
