TYTYTYTY!!! I’ve been looking for something like this for the school. Despite the fact they sit next to a base, they have zero interaction. My hubby LOVED the letters he got from a first grade group. He still has them.
Thanks for sharing this! As a first grade teacher, I plan to share it with my team of 8 other teachers. We are always looking for ways to encourage our little ones to think of others and be good citizens. This will be fantastic for our little sweeties!
I recently made paracord bracelets for Operation Gratitude per their directions on their website (leaving them unfinished at the end for them to secure). I was tickled to come home one day and find a personal phone message from OG thanking me for sending them. Would love to make more for them now!
