Holiday Gift Cards

Grief Animals

Sometimes our ideas for our projects come from the children themselves. Such is the case with our current activity. Susavonne, one of our children in the Big Kids group brought in a
project that she had come up with and had made at home. She called it her “Grief Bunny”. more
