During chapel time, I was sharing my dream of climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro with the students and then challenged them to help me raise money to purchase a van for Hope.  I asked the students to raise their hand if they felt they wanted to help Hope and her family. 

(Quote from Jaret's mom who teaches at BCS)

 "There was Jaret sitting in the front row, eyes on Mrs. Huffman, attentive as ever, and the first one to raise his hand, and one of the only ones in his Kindergarten class.  My heart was full and it brought tears to my eyes. When Jaret got in the vehicle after school he was so excited to tell me about chapel. He was telling me like he forgot I was even there. It was cute. His enthusiasm for hearing that Mrs. Huffman is going to climb one of the biggest mountains in the world was just bubbling over. He then told me that he needs to empty his piggy bank when he gets home so he can give all his money to Mrs. Huffman to buy a van for Hope. He was so excited and went straight upstairs to his room to empty his piggy bank. In fact, his friend Kira came to the door but he told her he would come and play later because he was counting his money to give to his friend, Hope. When Kirra saw what Jaret was doing, she wanted to help Hope too. So, Jaret helped her count her money in her piggy bank to donate to the cause as well. How can my heart not be full when I see how giving my son is and that he wants to help someone in need? Okay, getting teary just writing this..."
