We all know what 2020 was like for everyone. We all experienced tough situations, some were in our control and others were totally out of our control. But some might say teachers had some of the tougher situations to deal with. That is why good deed boxes welcome teachers at Dana Hills High School.
Teacher Appreciation
Good In Deed is proud to see what students at Dana Hills High School did with Giving Boxes using Good Deed boxes welcome teachers and staff. Parents have learned a valuable lesson in 2020, not about their health or even about themselves, but about teachers.
Parents learned that the work teachers do is not easy and deserves our appreciation. Teachers help shape the future of the world in ways that is not always noticeable at first. But they enlighten our children, prepare them for their futures, and to lead the way into new ways of life for us all.
But they also help watch our children, raise our children, and allow us to keep our day jobs without paying for daycare or sitters. These are things we may not have noticed before, but we certainly do now.
Dana Hills High School Students Know
Good deed boxes welcome teachers and staff back to school thanks to the help of the students. Students recognized just how much teachers and staff have been through this year. Some parents may think their teens aren’t paying attention, but they absolutely are watching everything.
They have seen what teachers went through, they recognize how tough it has been and wanted to help. That is why students came together and filled Giving Boxes for teachers. In fact, 160 teachers and staff members received a Giving Box on day 1 of school.
This was all thanks to the Juniors Alex Duffield, Talia Topalian, and Josh Mann. These students filled the boxes with things like gift cards, masks, hand wipes, snacks, and lotions. The students said it was all to show their appreciation for what the teachers have done to keep the school up and running during the pandemic that continues.
How to Create a Good Deed
Duffield, Topalian and Mann all got together to brainstorm how they could show their appreciation to the teachers and staff at Dana Hills High School. Eventually, they landed on good deed boxes welcome teachers. However, the next step was to find a way to fill 160 boxes on the salary of a high school student.
Luckily, Dana Hills came together to lend a helping hand. The students went to businesses asking for items or funds to be donated to help fill the boxes. As it turns out, local merchants were more than happy to oblige. In fact, most of the items donated to teachers were donated from local merchants in Dana Hills.
Good Deed Boxes Welcome Teachers and Staff
Giving Boxes can be used for many different things. You can use them to ship a gift to a friend in need or to fill with donations for a cause. But there is nothing more powerful than seeing a group of teenagers using Giving Boxes to think of someone else, to acknowledge the hardships they have dealt with and show appreciation to them.
This story is an inspiring one, not only for members of Good In Deed but to teens and parents everywhere. We all need to remember that we are a country, a community that needs to work together and remember that our story isn’t the only story happening at any given time.
We need to acknowledge each other and appreciate one another because that is what humanity is all about. There are more Giving Boxes where those 160 came from. You can do something like this as well. Simply email DoGood@GoodinDeed.com to find out how to get your own, free Giving Boxes.
