This afternoon my dad drove me over to Catholic Social Services so I could deliver the first batch of postcards. KTUU was there, too! We only had school three days this week so there weren’t many that were done, but my mom wrapped them with a red ribbon and I gave them to Susan Bomalaski, who will get them to refugee kids who have been resettled here in Alaska. Good things start small! You can see some of the finished cards here.
KTVA came to PNA yesterday and did an awesome report on Any Refugee. Thank you for coming, Ms Maxwell!
Today was a great day. I spoke to the 7th and 8th grade class in the morning and then the 1st and the 4th graders in the afternoon. Every student at PNA will be painting an Any Refugee postcard.
Tomorrow is the first day of Any Refugee. Kids at my school will be painting and writing postcards in art class. I’ll post pictures!
