Today the AAA 5th grade participated in a virtual visit with students in Chernihiv, Ukraine. The visit is part of the school partnership program with Hugs From Friends, a non-profit in NW Arkansas that works with community organizations to send messages of hope and love to children affected by the war in Ukraine.
AAA’s partnership with Hugs From Friends began in 2022. Students from our schools have sent artwork, collected Beenie Babies to send to children in Ukraine as well as hosted a fund-raising event to raise money for generators for schools in Ukraine. One of the classes that have participated in the Ukraine exchange has been Mr. Joe Papania’s Social Studies classes. This is the third year that students have exchanged art, sent messages of HOPE and shared virtual conversations.
SLAVA UKRAINE! 🧡
