Remember the other day when I posted about Project 25? Brief summary, my husband and I are dedicating 25 days to lesson giving with our children.
Today we chose a rainy day option - and by that I mean something that we could do at the house because of all the rain.
We went through old memory books and boxes and pulled out greeting cards we have received over the years. I even went back through a box of mine from high school that included graduation cards.
We stacked them up and ripped the front covers off.
I will mail the covers to the St. Jude's Ranch greeting card recycling program.
How it Works
Operated by Kids' Corp., a program for the children at St. Jude's Ranch to learn entrepreneurship skills, the children participate in making the new cards by removing the front and attaching a new back. The result is a beautiful new card made by children and volunteers.
NOTE: We currently have an increased need for both Birthday and Thank You card submissions.
