I am looking forward to this year’s love project. My class picks someone to “love” on each February. This year we chose Water is Life. They provide water purifying straws to kids in 3rd world countries. My kids make posters, raise funds, and get to help someone less fortunate. It makes a huge difference in their world view and mine. Love it!
