Daffodil Days and Scarves

"Liv N. Hope"

Daffodil Days is about beautiful flowers and celebrating the American Cancer Society's commitment to saving lives from the disease. Meet "Liv N. Hope", the newest bear from the Boyds family. He is created especially for the American Cancer Society Daffodil Days. His special job is to share hope for all people facing cancer. Melissa received this gift of hope! The bear has found a home with her!

Two of Melissa's kindergarten parents donated all of the materials for a special scarf project. The kindergarteners created their own scarves. Melissa discussed with the children why they would be making scarves. One boy said, "So we could be pirates!" Melissa replied, "No, not to be pirates." She continued to ask questions of why they would make scarves. One girl said, "Because you will be wearing them." The students loved this activity and were so proud of their own artwork. Melissa told them they could keep their scarf at school and wear it when she wears scarves or they could take it home and wear it at home.
