Parents – got a house full of kids? Consider giving this “home school” assignment to them.
It works on MANY different levels. It’s a writing,
drawing, spelling, art, empathy, civics, social studies, science,
research assignment, all rolled into one. Have the kids write and send a
“reverse Santa letter.”
Instead of asking Santa for something, they can give something instead.
In this case, it’s a letter of appreciation to a hospital
medical staff. Your amazing kid can research, write, edit, draw,
address, stamp and then mail a letter of love and appreciation to
medical professionals who are on the front lines of the current
pandemic.
It’s rough out there right now, and it’s only going to get
worse. They need encouragement. They need love. They need us to let
them know we support them and love them, and we have their backs.
Doctors, nurses, medical techs and even the custodians and
cafeteria workers are seriously in the middle of it right now, and
everyone on the front lines will appreciate love from the kids who are
thinking about them.
Choose a hometown hospital or send your letters and
drawings to a hospital in one of the cities in the USA – we’re all
Americans – that have been hardest hit, like NYC, LA, New Orleans,
Chicago and Detroit.
My suggestion is to address it this way:
Name of Hospital
Attention: Medical Heroes
Address
City, State
Zip Code
Kids might consider using phrases like, “Thank you heroes”
or “You totally rock” or “You are my hero.” Other suggestions might be
“You are brave,” “We love you,” “I love you” and “Thank you.”
Your kids can draw pictures of appreciation, write words of thanks, cut and paste their gratitude – whatever. Just let your kid show appreciation and support for the courage our friends all across America are showing.
Be sure to have your child sign it but only use their first name. That’s enough.
Then go mail that “care package.” Do it today. You’ll be glad you did.
