On the list of items Principal Vanessa Hudgins from our adopted school Hartman Elementary was "Teacher Support." Our first supportive task was to raise the teachers' spirits as they entered into what they call "the doldrums of fall" when kids are just looking forward to fall break and Halloween. We spent an afternoon writing notes on spooky postcards with messages of encouragement and validation to 80 teachers for a job well done then packed fun items like silly post-its and candy into festive bags. Volunteers delivered the cheerful packages to Principal Hudgins and the Hartman teachers the week before fall break.
What a great way to spend an afternoon in fellowship!
