Hi! We are the students of Small FRIES at Doyon School. Small FRIES is a new, kid-led group where we share our ideas to make school more fun, creative, and caring — and then work together to bring those ideas to life. We plan events, run fundraisers, and come up with projects that make a difference for our classmates, teachers, and community.
One of our first big ideas is called Winter Wellness Boxes. Each classroom would get a box filled with supplies to help teachers and students during cold and flu season, like tissues, hand sanitizer, wipes, tea, chapstick, and other wellness goodies.
Right now, our teachers have to buy these things themselves, and that can get really expensive — especially when they have to keep buying them all season long. We think teachers should be focused on teaching, not worrying about how many tissues are left in the box.
By creating Winter Wellness Boxes, we can show our teachers that we care about them and that we notice all the little things they do for us every day. This project would also keep classrooms healthier, which means more learning and less sick time for everyone.
With your support from Awesome Ipswich, the Small FRIES can make Winter Wellness Boxes happen this year. It’s a project that’s practical, thoughtful, and totally powered by kids.
Thank you for helping us show that even small ideas — and small fries — can make a big difference!
