Thank You from the Kids
After looking back over my last post I remembered one of my favorite parts of working with KidSmart: reading the “Thank You” notes that kids send us after their teachers bring them school supplies from KidSmart. These kids are extremely greatful for the the supplies we give them, and reading their heart-felt words is a fulfilling, moving, and occasionally emotional experience. Most of the letters are short - no more than a few sentences - but they are honest and endearing and they remind me of how important KidSmart’s mission truly is. Here are a couple we’ve received recently:
Thank you for all you have given us. If I didn’t have them, I wouldn’t have anything for school. Our school loves KidSmart and I do too.
Your Friend, Demetrius
I want to say thank you so much for the school supplies. I really needed them. Thanks for the pencils. Now I don’t have to ask other people for them. Thank you for all of your support.
From, Karey
These are just a couple of the endless amounts of letters KidSmart receives each year from kids we have served. Think back to elementary school and how exciting it was to go shopping for your brand new pencils, unopened boxes of crayons, and perfectly fresh markers; or how important is was to find the perfect folder with your favorite superhero or cartoon character on the front… These were the things that got me excited about going back to school each year. If we can get more children excited about learning by providing them with new and exciting school supplies, I think we are doing our job.
