 Every year, Kids for Causes comes up with a new cost. It's usually based on students' perceptions of what's going on in the world and things that motivate them. This year, the forefront of everyone's minds were the fires that hit Williamslake in the area. I recognized right away in my students, many were suffering from post-traumatic stress. I thought, well, this is a good Kids for Causes project. I saw a whole bunch of kids get really excited about supporting their community and Shelly was a huge instrument in guiding all of that energy and focusing it, which I found phenomenal. The public response was amazing. I had so many people who came through that had tears in their eyes saying we didn't know kids cared that much. Possibilities for how we can help each other and empower each other through a variety of situations are endless.
