My amazing neighbor, Chris Bond, was my piano teacher when I began piano at age 3. She is a great friend and advocate. And...she is is a fabulous Kindergarten teacher!
I had the opportunity to visit the kindergarten classes at Peruvian Park on April 11th. In the morning there were two classes that came together to hear about using their handz for good!
They had great ideas of things they could do for good with their hands - walk a dog, pick up trash, write a letter to grandma....
They promised to do something good with their hands in the next week! One boy wrote on his hand that he promised to "Love Lexy" and gave me a string of beads!
They brought toys and books for Shriners hospital.
They made cards for the children at Shriners.
Their teacher, Chris Bond, shared a touching story of a girl who missed out on many activities during the summer as she went to Shriners to have a leg gradually lengthened. This really helped the kids understand how hard it would be to need to be in the hospital.
The kids all gave me a hug or high-five and took an autograph card home to use to access thehandz4service.org resource.
I even got to see the kids to the door as we waited for parent pick up!
It is so fun to see kids catch the vision of doing good for others....
