Posted on

They became fast friends after being introduced during a recent school event. Now, Jordan Ridge Elementary School students are taking kindness to new heights hoping to help their new friends at the neighboring Kauri Sue Hamilton School. Kauri Sue is a school for special education students with severe needs and kids at the two schools felt a fast connection.

Because of that connection, Jordan Ridge students ran laps for their own school today, and on behalf of Kauri Sue students, at the PTA sponsored Jogathon held indoors due to rain. They are raising money for Jordan Ridge Elementary and hope the community will donate to support the Kauri Sue Hamilton School. Jordan Ridge students simply want to make sure their friends with special needs feel the communities’ love and support, both in and outside the classroom.

Jordan Ridge Elementary is reaching out to people and businesses in the broader community for help to achieve their act of kindness, encouraging them to make a donation to Kauri Sue (through the Jordan Education Foundation) so they can show the students with special needs how much they care.

Way to go Jordan Ridge Elementary School on making your Jogathon a big win for everyone!
