My Project

I provide speech therapy to the most amazing group of kids in grades K-8. I enjoy their unique personalities, curious minds, and eagerness to learn. Most students come from low-income families and neighboring shelters. This year I want to give them goodie bags full of books, games, and crafts to enjoy during their winter break.

A little cheer can make a big difference so let's put a big smile on a little face with some educational fun.

The goodie bags will be filled with games, books, and crafts tailored to each child's age and grade level. The items are fun, engaging, and educational. I know these goodie bags will help brighten their holiday spirit.
