Proud Mom Moment

**** First things, first: Just wanted to extend my thoughts and prayers to the Hodges who are dealing with an illness. We love you guys and know you'll beat it. ****

Now, one of the most important values I think that is important to instill in my little one is the idea that it is our responsibility to care for and be of service to others. Every year, Maddie saves up a portion of her allowance to donate to groups or causes that she thinks are important. This year, she gave her "Give" money to a global hunger relief fund collected by her school. She is being honored and recognized for her generosity. Here is an email sent to me by her teacher:

"Hi Mrs. Pfirrman,

We are all so impressed with Maddie’s generosity for the global hunger collection! Our assistant principal, Mrs. Leichman, counted all the money in her jar, and it came to $49.35. Maddie will be recognized for her generosity in the weekly bulletin that the superintendent sends to staff via e-mail but is also published in the Beavercreek News Current. (It will be published next Wednesday.) In addition, the cafeteria staff would like to take Maddie’s picture and hang it up in the cafeteria as an example of generosity and caring.

Thank you so much! And congratulations on a job well done raising such a kind and caring daughterJ

Sincerely,
Miss Schmitt"
