Kenzie's hard works pays off.

Operation: 2nd Grade Service
The kids in Mackenzie's 2nd grade class have been working very hard the last couple of months on making and tying blankets for the elderly in the local nursing home.

(By the way, Kenzie's teacher, Mrs. Graham is the one wearing the brown cap in the group of kids. When we got there, she looked like one of the kids. She is acually on her knees, but wanted to be with the kids.)

Saturday all their hard work finally paid off.

The kids were not required to come, but if they wanted to delivery the blankets then they were to meet at the care center.

Kenzie was excited to see who got the blanket that she worked on.

When she got there you could that she was a bit nervous and a bit uncomfortable, but when she saw the warm welcomes and smile from the ones who were getting the blankets, she thought that it was a good thing to see the people love the blankets and was even more proud of all of their hard work.

It was good for those kids to see that kind of experience and that people of all ages appreciate special things.

I have to give a shout out to Kenzie's school teacher, Mrs. Graham.

She is a great teacher and Kenzie just loves her. I am grateful for all that she teaches the kids and even though she teaches them the basic skills, with this project with the kids, She taught them more; To Love and Give to one another.

How it is better to give then to receive.

I think that the kids will remember this and now have a new "appreciation" of their hard work.

Way to go Mrs. Graham's 2nd grade class!
