Kids Helping Kids

Doesn't it warm your heart when you see kids helping kids?  Doesn't it make you feel proud and hopeful all at the same time?

Soon after we launched our nonprofit, a teacher from Rye Elementary school named Jacquie, reached out and said she wanted to help.  Together with her Student Council, she organized a fundraiser that raised over $125!  The fundraiser took place on Opening Day for the Boston Red Sox.  Students were invited to wear their favorite baseball jersey, cap or hat and if they wanted to wear their hat all day, they were asked to donate $1.  All monies raised were earmarked for Kids Five and Over.   Baseball (Red Sox!), teamwork, pooling resources, and kids helping kids.  It warms our heart in so many ways!

To the students at Rye Elementary School - Thank you for reaching out to help children you may never meet.  Your kindness will be remembered.   Always.

To Jacquie - Thank you for being a role model of kindness for your students.  You reached out to us with enthusiasm and energy because you believe in the mission of Kids Five and Over, yet we've never met.  Thank you for reaching out.  Thank you for being you.

How lucky we are to have teachers like Jacquie shaping the lives of young children.

Thank you Rye Elementary School!  High Fives and Hugs from all of us at Kids Five and Over!
