Color-A-Smile March Project

For our March project we colored pictures for loved ones and the elderly. The kids drew beautiful pictures! We saved some of the pictures to give to the retirement home residents we will be performing for this summer. The kids also made "Service Books" to help them keep track of acts of service they perform throughout the month. At the beginning of each meeting, we ask the children to share an act of service they did the past month. Some of the answers from this month were: putting a band-aid on a sister's hand, helping their grandma make Sunday dinner, and cleaning up without being asked. We have such terrific kids as Service Stars!!

March Project

For our MARCH project, we were inspired by the non-profit organization, "Color A Smile." Their mission is to make people smile through drawings from children! http://www.colorasmile.org/ "Color A  Smile collects crayon drawings from school children. Every month we distribute these drawings to Nursing Homes, Meals on Wheels Programs, and Individuals all across the country. Our goal is to make people smile!"

We are meeting on Friday, March 22nd at 3pm at my home and having each child draw and color a few pictures to give to family members, neighbors, grandparents, and the elderly to make them SMILE!! Later in the year, the kids will be singing in a local Nursing Home and we will be giving some of the drawings at this event. This is a low-key project that even the littlest members of our club can participate in! No worries if you cannot make it to the meeting, but feel free to have your kids draw and color pictures on their own and give them to me for the nursing home members.
