For Cloverleaf Camille had to put together a project about a non-profit. She chose Project Linus since we have made lots of blankets for them. We didn't get to go watch her present because of stupid Covid, but she presented to us at home and she did a great job.
Story: A three year old girl had cancer. She would bring a blanket every time she got treatment. Karen Packs heard this and decided to provide new handmade blankets to Denvers Rocky Mountain Children's Cancer Center and Project Linus was born.
Since we are speaking about Cloverleaf, our girls along with our Homeschool Besties decided to make political statements with their masks. Attending a homeshool community during Covid has been interesting to say the least. Definitely a lot of people who don't believe Covid is real and certainly don't have any interests in trying to stop the spread. It's been a challenge. The kids did this completely on their own- moms were absolutely not involved. I applaud their bravery.
"No one has died from wearing a mask."
"I wear because I care."
Someone said something pretty negative to Camille, but gave her this note afterwards which I thought was sweet. We had a discussion about how when you put yourself out there, you set yourself up to be attacked. That's just the way it is. But, for the most part, our kids think it's silly that people are so resistant to masks, so I think she is still planning to wear the mask. Like I said, these kids are pretty brave.
"I am really sorry about what I said last week. It was not right of me to judge your opinion on wearing a mask or not. Just to let you know, am very, very, very sorry! You are kind, smart, funny, good at soccer, and a really, really good friend. Please forgive me for the words that I said. Really sorry, Sachi."
I thought that was a very sweet note! Lots of lessons being learned all around for these kiddos!
