Cards for Kids with Cancer

Our building was given $75.00 dollars from our hall council to go out and buy paper, colored pencils, markers, glitter, crayons, and stickers.  We then made cards for children that are ill, this can be done for cancer hospitals or children's hospitals.  The cards simply said, "Have a Good Day" or "Hope Today is Treating You Well."  (It is usually not a good thing to say "Get Well Soon" because the children that are sick with cancer may not get well)  After we made several hundred cards we donated the cards and the rest of the supplies to the hospital.  The children really love receiving cards and they love to make things for other patients and family members.
