Blankets for King Dreamers!
Character Counts awarded a 5th grade class at Jordan Creek Elementary $500 for participating in a contest where they were asked to submit their acts of showing good charactor. The Jordan Creek students decided to pay it forward and make fleece blankets for the King Dreamers. IHAD King Dreamers made blankets for the rest of the 4th grade students at King so that they would all be able to take home a blanket. The Jordan Creek students came to King Elementary to deliver their blankets and to meet the King Elementary fourth graders.
One King Elementary student wrote about his experience in his essay about ‘What It Means To Make a Difference’. He wrote as follows, ” I was so happy that they made blankets for us that I gave every boy and girl a high five at our blanket party.At the party, we all had lots of fun and ate cookies. At the end of the party all of us were so happy. We were jumping up and down and squeezing our blankets. When we got outside after school we ran to our parents and told them the whole story.”
