Pastels for Cancer

We created photos for the Relay for Life. We read 2 stories that were written for kids, about the disesase,"cancer." One story was about a teacher that has cancer, fights it, and returns back to school. The other story was about a little girl, born with cancer, and she starts a lemonade stand to raise money for the hospitals to find a cure. Beautiful! It was so amazing to watch my precious 1st graders want to volunteer their own allowances and money to find a cure for cancer. It was heart-warming to watch these sweet little 1st graders brainstorm a list of things they would say to someone with cancer to pick them up, "be brave," "be strong," and other amazing pick me ups, like "have faith."
