Take Part in "Absolutely Incredible Kid Day"

03.17.2010

For the past 14 years, the third Thursday of March has been "Absolutely Incredible Kid Day." The day is a national letter writing campaign sponsored by Camp Fire USA, where kids recieve letters of support, love and encouragement from parents and adults. It doesn't cost anything to participate, and it only takes a few minutes. The positive impact of these letters is what Absolutely Incredible Kids Day is all about. All the children in our care know we love them and care about them, but do they know why? Or do they even know how incredible they are? Please take the opportunity to write a short letter to your kids to let them know you care. It only has to be a paragraph or it could be a full letter. What a boost to a child's self-esteem to find a letter on the breakfast table or have a letter to read at night. It could be the difference in a good or bad day. We work with children all day, everyday. Let's let them know why we enjoy working with them.
