AWESOME GLOVER 4TH GRADERS

WOW,AWESOME,FANTASTIC, just a few words to describe Mrs.Baker's and Mrs.Leblanc's 4 grade class at Glover Community School.They collected in 4 weeks,over 100 pairs of sox,100 toothbrushes,toothpaste,floss,foot powder.Incredible accomplishment.Not only that but the project was started by the students themselves first, then the teachers guided them along.The respect and priviledge of getting to know these kids is overwhelming.I am so honored that they shared their time with me and allowed me to get to know them.What great people they are.There are not enough words that I can share that tells you how I feel about these kids,the very biggest of THANK YOU'S go out to them for what they have done for our soldiers.Their parents and teachers should be very very proud of what their children are turning into,very special human beings,thank you kids.So now let me rewind it alittle bit and tell you how it all started. In Oct. I sent out a small but pointed news blurb to the radio stations and newspapers that our organization had run out of sox for our soldiers for the first time.The article was printed in the Newport Daily Express paper.In the mornings the students and teachers read the paper.They read the article and the kids thought they could help.Shortly thereafter I get a phone call from a very fine 4th grader,she made the first contact with me and wanted to know what they could do to help,I explained what we do and what they could do.She proceeded to relay the info to her teachers,they had group meetings,designed collection boxes,put out the boxes and collected those amazing totals.A date was setup with me to meet with them,describe to all about what we do and then for me to say THANK YOU. I hope to never loose contact with these great young adults,I am so very proud of them,they are our future,wow are we in good hands.
