We are excited to spread some much needed Holiday cheer and well-wishes as a BEN Bolt Community.
All families can be a part of this project and we are looking forward to seeing your pictures and holiday cards.
What is Color A Smile: Color A Smile is a non-profit organization that provides greeting cards all year round to veterans, soldiers overseas and children who are in the hospital during the holiday season.
Directions:
If you would like to participate in Color a Smile, the templates are being sent out via Blackboard.
Please color as many greeting cards as you would like to with your family. We ask that you do not use glitter.
Please make sure that when your student(s) signs the card that only their FIRST name is on it.
Then, please drop off your holiday greeting cards by December 10th, in a box that will be housed right outside of the main entrance. We will be mailing out all greeting cards on or about December
If you would like to take a picture of your family working on their greeting cards, please send the picture to
