My Project

My school is planning a "Be The Change" Day in March. Students will attend a variety of sessions to learn about different groups that help our community do good. Some sessions will include a hands-on element to help students feel more engaged with what it truly means to "be the change."

One session will include creating cards for others to help our students "be the change" in our community.

The materials for this project are for that session. The paper, gems, tapes, and stamps will be used to create cards for a variety of reasons. Thank you notes for the police officers at the nearby station. Happy cards for residents at a local nursing home. Thank you cards for the presenters. So many ideas to help students "be the change" in our community.
