Project Thank-You

Some recipients of Project Thank You: our principal Megan, all our school bus drivers, our parent volunteers, our student teachers, Jim Carrey, a paramedic, Boyd Tinsley, Lemony Snicket, and Kid President. Now, maybe you have as well! If not, please read below and consider printing some out to pass on!

Project Thank-You is an amazing system that started in Room 209 at Churchill Alternative School in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada on Wednesday, December 5th, 2012 at 2 p.m. and will continue to go to many different places.

The point of Project Thank-You is to bring happiness to bring people all over the place to do good deeds and have good deeds done to them.

Project Thank-You encourages people to give thanks to people to help us with our everyday lives.

One of the students in Room 209, Pat, noticed that most people do not give thanks for what they do. He noticed that people didn't say thank you when someone held the door for them at school. He figured that if we gave them a little card, that thanks would go around in our hands. When he told us about his idea, we all agreed that it will help and we came up with even more ideas to add on to the seed of his idea.

  11. Today, I was the lucky recipient of a card from Project Thank-You from a student in class 209. Tonight, after my daughter baked cookies for our home, I passed this card on as a thank you to her. We both think this is a fabulous initiative.
