So Much Fun

We had our first official volunteer S3Kit basket making event. In the amount of time it takes me to put one basket together, we completed nine and eight mostly completed baskets. This was only due to our lack of supplies. We easily could have made twenty or more in our two-hour allotted time frame!

Thank you to Nate Lindholm and the Legacy Girls Basketball team for offering this to us.

We’ve never done something like this before and it really could not have gone better. The girls were so thoughtful and intrigued while I explained how to put the baskets together and the meaning behind each item.

The best part for me was feeling like a teacher again. I may have joked at least two to three times, “I feel like a teacher again!” My heart was full on many different levels.

I don’t talk about it much, but I miss teaching a ton. I loved my job. I loved my Kindergarteners. Teaching is hard work and even harder now. I still have to believe all the hard work is worth it, knowing the impact of a teacher can never be erased. Thank you, teachers, for all you do every day!

Thank you, Brandi, Beth, and my niece Amanda, for helping out and making the first S3Kit basket making event a success.

Take a look at all of their hard work!
