Kindness Passion Project!
We want to congratulate our SCA treasurer on a job well done with her passion project! She aspires to be a doctor one day, and organized a card drive for children in hospitals.
First, she planned out and researched the project. Then, she went through all the steps to communicate it with teachers. In February, she collected the cards in the handmade mailbox, and sorted through them (with friends) to make sure they followed the guidelines. We are so proud of her amazing project!
