Walter had a big May with a special Starbarks fundraiser and his Bryant elementary school graduation.
Walter was inspired by his music teacher Ms. Sellers to help the homeless because of a song she taught them in class. Walter loves working at Starbarks at Bryant, and suggested they collect money to help the homeless. Ms. Shireman agreed and helped Walter get things organized - Walter even wrote a letter to Chick-fil-a and they generously donated lemonade for the fundraiser! We asked Ms. Sellers to suggest a charity and she recommended Dubuque Rescue Mission. Johanna helped by making a beautiful sign. Tony and Michelle donated the donuts and cookies. Walter was even featured on the school’s morning announcements to let kids know about the fundraiser.
The teachers enjoyed the fundraiser with coffee and donuts in the morning.
After school, the kids and their parents were treated to cookies and lemonade. Even Johanna got to help!
And Walter was featured in Facebook posts by the school district and rescue mission.
And here is Walter delivering the proceeds of approximately $300!
May also meant the end of our time at Bryant. Walter enjoyed the end of school year Fun Day tradition which includes picnic lunch with parents on the playground.
At the graduation celebration, Walter was especially excited to run through the banner with his name. He jumped through it and landed weird but popped up and saying "I'M OKAY" which got a nice laugh.
We got a picture with Walter and his favorite Bryant teacher, Ms. Shireman.
But Walter let us know he was NOT interested in any more pictures.
