About 4:30 today, there came a knock on my front door. When I opened the door, there stood three kids and 4 adults, all from the local elementary school where we donated the school supplies that were collected here. These beautiful smiling faces on these children warmed my heart before I knew why they were even at my door. Out popped three little hands with hand made ‘Thank You’ cards from each and every child at school that had received supplies from us. The parents all made sure to thank all of us too.
I called all of my staff in so they could be a part of this since they were a huge part of what made the whole ‘School Tools’ collection a success too. Then a bright idea hit me. I knew that some of the patrons that had brought donations would be coming back soon so I invited the parents and children in. I have a couple bulletin boards where I post upcoming events and I let the children put every ‘Thank you’ note on one of the bulletin boards so everyone could be thanked by these sweet children that had a hand in helping out. That sure made my day. Well it probably will make my whole week in the end.
