Letters to Soldiers

March 18, 2022 by Nollmeyer, Gustave

This organization is something that allows everyone to support our soldiers in so many different ways. There are multiple different teams included in this organization include card and letter writing team, angel bakers team, chaplain support team, deployed adoptions team, ladies of liberty team, and special operations forces team. All of these aspects of the organization provide some kind of support and help for soldiers that might not get it from other sources. It shows the soldiers that they are loved and appreciated by a lot of people around them. For this project, I chose to register for the card writing team and send some letters from my kindergarteners to the soldiers.

Pencil Project

December 6, 2021 by Nollmeyer, Gustave

This is a pencil drive for kids and families that simply cannot afford pencils or writing utensils. Education gets put on the “back burner” sort of speak for many people all over the world, providing food on the table can be hard enough and it comes down to it, they stop seeing schooling as a priority. This gives kids the opportunity that they didn’t see as possible before.

Painted Wood Art

November 30, 2021 by Nollmeyer, Gustave

The Painted Wood Project was inspired by the Kindness Rocks Project having the same idea in mind, to spread kindness through the community. It evolved into painting wood pieces for the children to give to someone who they appreciate and has impacted their life in a positive way. The idea for the Painted Wood Project was to show love and kindness to someone who has shown it to you.

Friendship Bracelets

November 30, 2021 by Nollmeyer, Gustave

For this project, I partnered with Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital. I worked with students and explained to them how there are kids their age within the hospital that are still having to learn while being isolated and not around their friends. Because of this, we wanted these children to feel seen, heard, and know that we were thinking of them, so we provided bracelets that shared uplifting words of encouragement to provide to these children in the hospital with love and happiness!

No Bake Doggie Treats

November 30, 2021 by Nollmeyer, Gustave

For this project, students will be learning about animal shelters and their role in our local community. After that, students will get to make no bake doggie treats and donate them to SpokAnimal animal shelter. After they finish making their treats they will get to go on SpokAnimal’s website and choose the dog they would like to donate their treats to.
