For the past ten years, my Kindergartners and I have had the special blessing to partner with Josh Groban and his Find Your Light Foundation to help raise funds to provide music and instruments to public schools who would not otherwise have these items. In our ten year journey together, we have raised over $35,000 for Josh's Find Your Light Foundation.
My Kindergartners who have participated in our Find Your Light Foundation service project for the past ten years wrote a children's book entitled, "Shine On" to commemorate our tenth year of our Find Your Light Foundation Service Project. Our goal is to have it published and allow the funds from our book to continue to benefit Find Your Light Foundation. My kids also had the great privilege to be featured in a video they created at the Find Your Light Foundation Gala to help encourage others to support this amazing organization.

When we began our Find Your Light Service Project ten years ago, I was searching for a way to show my Kindergartners how they could make a real difference in our world. I wanted them to see that little people could do big things to make our world a better place. I have watched in awe each year as my children have embraced this dream and have not just been participates in this journey but have taken it to heart and owned it as their own personal mission. Find Your Light Foundation has opened their eyes to the possibilities they have to make a difference in our world, their ears to the beauty of music and its universal language, and their hearts to the joy of serving others. They have inspired them to find their light in all of the darkness and to go out into the world and light the way for others in need.
I could not be more proud of my Watson Wildcats and all that they have accomplished! Most of all, I am most proud of them for the people who they have become! Whether in Kindergarten with me today or ten years ago, they will always be my kids and with them our future is bright. Shine on my sweet Wildcats. Shine on!
Love, Miss Todd :)
