With the donated materials, students created Hello Kitty face plate crafts and designed their own bracelets using colorful beads. The paper, craft supplies, and fun cat stickers encouraged creativity while helping students build fine motor skills and collaborate with peers in a positive, welcoming space.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, they were beyond excited. Many instantly recognized Hello Kitty and eagerly jumped into the activities. The bracelets and stickers were a huge hit, and students proudly shared their creations with friends and staff. It was especially heartwarming to see older students helping younger ones, creating a sense of teamwork and kindness within the club.\r\n\r\nNext, students will use the donated Hello Kitty notepads to write thank-you cards to our school staff, helping them practice gratitude and written expression. For our final meeting, we will celebrate with games using the donated bows, and students will have the opportunity to win donated prizes. These experiences are helping students build creativity, social skills, and confidence.

When students first saw the bracelet-making supplies, their faces lit up—they immediately began exploring the beads, testing out patterns, and talking through ideas together. For their very first service project, they chose to make bracelets for our Leaders of the Week. Watching them plan color combinations, divide up tasks, and proudly deliver their finished bracelets was a highlight for everyone involved.\r\n\r\nThe new materials have given our students a meaningful, hands-on way to contribute to our school community. They've quickly learned how to use the tools, help one another with tricky knots, and create designs they're proud of. The supplies have made it easy for students to jump into projects with enthusiasm and see a real, tangible result from their efforts.\r\n\r\nNext, our Leadership Club is planning to create bracelets for upcoming school events and staff appreciation days. They're also excited to design themed bracelets throughout the year to share with different groups across the school.
