My Students

"Children will not remember you for the material things you provided but for the feeling that you cherished them." by Richard Evans My students have a great desire to make other children feel important, loved and remembered during their battles with cancer.

My students come from low income families, so they can't always donate food or money to those in need.

However, they still have HUGE hearts and want to help local children feel loved while they are struggling through cancer treatment. This project will provide my students the ability to share themselves with others in need.

My Project

My students will learn lessons that are hard to teach in school, yet just as important to learn - empathy, compassion, caring, appreciation and love. They will decorate pillowcases with their words, drawings and creativity in order to share a smile with another, less fortunate child.

This project has the potential to change the lives of not only the students in my classroom, but also the children who are learning to fight and live with cancer.

I bet neither set of students forgets this experience.
