Gabriella speaking in front of about 500 Middle School Kids.
She loved it! They knew who she was and she loved
the attention-- she asked if she could be in a movie now.
Proud mama here. She did great.

Dear KCI families,
Did you know that during the past 3 weeks your child has been working tirelessly on creating a beautiful book as a gift for children with cleft lip? They asked me to find out how they could give the book to a child to enjoy and "make them feel happy." This is a project that the children thought up on their own and worked on independently over several days, adding a bit more to their project every day. It just so happens that it is Smile Week in the Middle School this week. During Smile Week, the Middle School raises funds and awareness to support a foster hospital that helps treat children with cleft palette. Tomorrow, Middle School will be having an assembly where a representative from the organization that helps spearhead this worthy cause will attend.
When I asked Mr. Fidler in the Middle School how we could get the KCI children's book to a child, he suggested that we come to the assembly and present the book to the organization directly. The children know nothing about this yet! I plan to tell them tomorrow morning. We will be going to the assembly and presenting at 3:00. I will update you on the location tomorrow morning if you wish to come and watch. We will only be there for about 2 or 3 minutes at most before we have to return to class.
I hope you are as proud of the children as I am for their commitment to a project that was embarked upon for the sole purpose of making another person happy.
Congratulations to all 4 girls!
Happy Smile Week!
Christine
