This morning, Reuben Johnson Elementary wrapped up their weeklong focus on kindness by stuffing party favor bags to support The Birthday Party Project, an organization that makes birthdays special for kids in need. All told, RJE filled 924 bags with fun items donated by the RJE community! RJE students learned about kindness by putting it to work!
"We are so proud of our students and families for embracing World Kindness Week and putting their hearts into a campus wide service project to support The Birthday Party Project," said RJE Principal Kristen Patterson. " We had no idea what to expect when we started assembling our donations this morning, and after counting we were blown away with the realization that we are giving 924 filled birthday party favor bags to children in need. Our RJE families truly are the best at giving and supporting others."
