The Principal at St. Mary’s would love Power Point versions of popular books our kids are reading. This is super important to the teenagers at St. Mary’s. Call and I can explain more and we’ll also post Information to the website soon.

We would like to congratulate the following officers: Max Frederic (President), Naomi Williams (President-Elect), Sienna Fredric (Vice-President), Emersen Miller (Treasurer), Michaella & Morgan Lynch (Co-Secretaries), Jaedyn Williams & Julia Roche (Co-Communications chair), Olivia McGuire (Special Events Chair), and Isaiah & Salim (Youth Representatives/Advisors).

We are excited about our new online presence. Browse our new website to learn more about our organization. Have ideas to add to the website? Send them to us thru the Contact Us page. We're always looking for new ideas.

Kid2Kid is proud to say that we have raised over $20,000.  Though, this would not have been possible without the volunteers, donations, and the help from Kid2Kid Families.

And a SPECIAL THANK YOU to Molly S. who met with the St. Mary’s Principal this week to deliver over a dozen books she added safe “tactile” items to each page. She also read the books to an audio file which will help many children with “dual” disabilities. Now they can touch and hear the books making their reading time a lot of fun and very memorable. Thanks Molly for being so giving of your time this summer.
