JOSEPH COOK ELEMENTARY

A fundraising effort for Joseph Cook Elementary school in Syracuse, Utah is our first project!  Joseph Cook is my grandfather.  Hence, we’re focusing on his school for our first project.

Joseph Cook Elementary
A wonderful grandpa and man! Cook Elementary in Syracuse, Utah, is named after him.

First of all, we are raising money for some new playground tables and chairs for Joseph Cook Elementary in Syracuse, Utah!  Family members are contributing funds for the next 30 days.

While all kids love recess, they don’t all participate in it in the same way.  Children can use these tables and chairs at recess.  Like the principal says, “Not every child wants to play dodge ball or soccer at recess.  Some kids want to sit down and play board games or Pokemon with their friends, read a book, or draw.  We don’t have any tables and chairs for them to do that.”

Well, hopefully soon they will have those accessories.

So we set up an account at Go Fund Me also!  This account helps raise additional funds because we want to extend the opportunity to participate beyond the family members.

In conclusion, our goal is raising $7,800 in the next 30 days.  So visit this link if you want to contribute:  https://www.gofundme.com/loved-at-schoolcook-elementary.

Finally, I love this logo from Joseph Cook Elementary.  It’s a happy place!

A wonderful school where kids have fun!

 

Welcome to Loved at School!

I can’t do anything about the recent deadly attack at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida where 17 students were killed.

I can’t do anything about the gun laws in our country except write my congressional representatives, which I have done.

I can’t do anything about the next (hopefully I’m wrong) deadly attack that will happen at an unsuspecting school because I don’t know when, where, or how it will happen or by whom.

But I CAN DO SOMETHING right away to show our wonderful kids and young people at schools that they are loved and admired.  I can arrange with the proper authorities to go to their schools  and show them some extra love by surprising them with gifts.  I want students to not fear going to school; I want students to be excited to go to school because they might get showered with some extra blessings while they are there.

That’s what I am going to do.  And you can help.

You can help in this effort by making a donation which will be used to buy gift cards, treats, prizes and other fun items for the students.  Show the students in our country that you love them too.

Don’t sit idly by and talk about what a scary world it is; get involved now and help swing the pendulum towards love and away from hate.  These kids deserve it!
