It's been over a year since the inspiration for Love My Kids passed into the arms of our Savior. But, her memory and influence live on, which is a testament to just how remarkable a woman Tracy was. At the beginning of February Marshall Elementary, where Tracy taught for over 10 years, celebrated what would have been Tracy's 50th birthday. In honor of this occasion the entire first week of February was a special Spirit Week dedicated to Tracy. Kids were encouraged on different days to wear pink in honor of Tracy's love for pigs, accessorize their 'outfits' with jewelry, hats and other fabulous items, and celebrate the 80's with big hair and 80's fashion. On Feb. 5th, Tracy's birthday, a brief assembly was held to honor our inspiration and to remember and reflect on just how huge an impact Tracy had on so many of 'her kids' lives. The kids also made a donation of $100 to the Foundation, money they raised on their own.Kids also made 'piggy promises' to do what they can to honor Tracy and strive to reach their God-given potential. Hopefully you will see these promises in one of the pictures posted below. This event serves as a reminder that what we do in our lives can really make a difference to others. Please consider making a difference by supporting Love My Kids with you time, prayers and a monetary donation.
Many of the students we serve live in a single apartment complex, so we partnered with the apartment management to host a fun afternoon event for the families at Bentley Apartments.
We served up hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, drinks, candy, prizes and two very talented face painters! |
