Beads of Courage provides a special bead to each child that undergoes a procedure during their time of illness. Many of the children that receive a bead are battling heart disease or cancer.
The boxes provided by Joe Walker will be used to store the children’s beads.
“Mr. Barron and his students are wonderful examples of the lessons we as a District are teaching our youth to give back to the community, ” said Westside Union School District Superintendent Regina Rossall.
Students also included a handwritten note for each child who receives a box. In time, the boxes become treasured keepsakes for patients and their families.
All the boxes will be distributed to hospitals nationwide.
“I would like to thank the students at Joe Walker and Mr. Barron for this tremendous gift,” said Beads of Courage Volunteer Don Mourton. “They have really done something that will make a difference in somebody’s life.”
