The moment the students seen our package they were filled with joy and excitement. Students were eager to get materials in their hands and begin creating cards for children.
Over the past few weeks students have been able use the various supplies to create beautiful cards Students have been using technology to find card ideas and poems.

Students are asking to help their classmates and using kind words.
