Being a HERO
Caleb asked me if he was a hero because he was raising money for the children in Alyssa's orphanage. All kids (especially boys) want to be heros and I think any child who gives up something for another person is a hero. Yes, he is definitely a hero.
We were talking about ways the boys could get their friends and peers involved in raising money for Alyssa's orphanage and they came up with a great idea. Alyssa, Caleb, Dylan and I went to each of their schools today and presented their idea to the principals. The boys talked about wanting to help the children in the orphanage and asked if their school would host a "Red Day" or "ladybug Day" where all the children would wear either something with a ladybug or something red because that represents good luck in China. Each child would donate $1 to wear red on a particular day. All the money raised will go to Alyssa's orphanage for the children there. I was SO PROUD of them as they gave their little "presentation" and showed the love they have for their sister and other children who need families. We'll let you know what day it's going to happen and how much is raised! I love to see the kids open their hearts to others!!
My very own heroes!!!
Happy being "Mom" (Mother's Day)
Daddy and Alyssa

tammy you should go to ews and get every body to where red and if they saw what they were doing we as a school could raise a lot of money if we payed 1 dollar we could get like 5 hundred dollars or so
Emily,
That's a great idea! We can talk about it more this weekend! Are you coming to help with the Carnival. I have your name on the list of students helping from EWS. I hope so...the kids will love seeing you!
Talk to you soon,
Tammy
