FIRST RESPONDERS - Thank you IDEAS - GIVING BACK - Police, Firefighters, EMT, Paramedics, Dispatchers, Military


I'm doing a series of great ways kids can get involved with giving back. These are all activities we've done at home or with a large group. 

Here are my five categories we'll be involved with this month and I'll post ideas for each one.

Notes, cards, treats, cook a meal, or just saying a simple THANK YOU!

WHY DO THIS?
First responders work long hours away from their families and it doesn't matter if it's a holiday or ice day, they still go to work. They are ready for the next call and deal with situations that we can't imagine. Expressing your gratitude to our police, firefighters, EMT, paramedics, dispatchers and military can show respect and appreciation for what they do.

Thank you notes or cards.

Lunch, snacks, treats, fruit, or cookies.



Don't forget holidays when they're away from their families.

Please share other ideas!

Thank you for visiting my blog. Any questions? Just ask!

9/11 Tribute - STAIR CLIMB - Police / Firefighters - PLUS Cookies!!!

Local First Responders Remember Colleagues Lost on Sept. 11 

Boys checked it out before it started

To honor the memory of those who lost their lives they climbed 110 flights total to mark the Twin Towers' 110 stories. (stairwell 14 times) All with an extra 40 pounds. The firefighters wore bunker gear and the officers’ bullet proof and tactical vests. 
It began at 7:46 a.m. central time---the moment when the first plane struck the World Trade Center's North Tower.




Watching their Dad

"Puts a whole new perspective on a smidgen of what those guys went through that day and I don't even think we scratched the surface"


COOKIES!!!! I ended up making a little over 100!
For the get together after I made cookies with a twin towers police shield and firefighter shield tags


Police shield

Firefighter shield


The boys were late to school but brought all the teachers and principles a cookie with a 9/11 remembrance pin

They loved it! I also handed out the pins to the stair climb participants 


Extra basket of cookies for the police station

It was a very touching tribute and the boys were extremely proud their Dad participated. I have the sweetest pictures of them giving the biggest hugs. {{heart melted}}

Thank you for stopping by!
