More Pictures and Thoughts from Prairie Vale 5th Graders!

Prairie Vale 5th graders have BIG hearts. Students were asked to draw a picture or write me a letter about why they wanted to join Club Hope. I've included 2 more pictures (thanks, Hannah and Cole). The students wrote, "I would like to join..." -

" To make a difference in the world".

"Being nice to other people and raising money for other people will help me become a better person."

"I want to make new friends with other kind people."

"I want to make a difference and I promise I will keep my grades up and I will make Deer Creek and myself proud."

"I would like to learn to be an even better person. I would like to be able to give back to the community."

"I love helping other people."

"I would love to he a Club Hope member!"

" I want to join Club Hope so I can help the Earth and the people on it. I will do my best to be a role model for not only my school, but for all people."

"I want to make the world a better place by doing anything I can to help."

We are going to have a great year!

Thirty-four students join Club Hope at Prairie Vale!

Thirty-four wonderful, caring 5th graders applied to be members of Club Hope. We will meet on Monday to learn more about what our club will do this year and find out what our members are interested in doing. (Thanks, Hallie, for the beautiful picture!)
