Today I wrote and mailed thank you notes to all the people who donated items or helped me with the various parts of my Girl Scout Gold Award project. I am SO thankful that kids came forward to donate gently used books and stuffed animals. I even got some clothes and puzzles. I am thankful for the adult books that were donated as well as all the fabric that was donated for the tote bags. It was very nice that I didn't have to spend any money to purchase fabric.
People are still dropping off books/stuffed animals at my home, so I guess I will be making another trip to Urban Day School soon.
Now I have to wait until the parents of Urban Day School's Head Start Program decide what kind of parent speakers they want this year, and then I will plan/organize two speaker times. The have monthly meeting times, so hopefully I can do them this fall yet.
Sarah, this was absolutely wonderful! I know that your project consumed a tremendous amount of time and energy, but the impact it will have on the students and parents is almost immeasurable. You're awesome! I thought you were done with the bags, but if you do plan to continue, let me know. I have some items you might be able to use. Thanks for doing this and for sharing it through this blog. Best wishes!
