3. Let’s help make her wish come true…  During Olweus time today, let’s make holiday cards for Safyre. She will certainly be surprised when she receives A LOT of cards from MMS.  Here are some guidelines:  Cards have to be mailed, so keep the size of the cards in mind.  Sign your card with your first name only.  You may write a letter to Safyre, too, instead of creating a holiday card.

4. Suggestions for what to write in your card…  We will use the same guidelines for cards that are used for children who are hospitalized. Keep the messages in your card positive and cheerful. Here are some examples:  “Happy Holidays”  “Merry Christmas” – she celebrates Christmas, so this is fine to write  “Stay Strong”  “Never Forget How Amazing YOU Are”  “You are special”  “You are awesome”  “You inspire me”  “You rock”  Lastly, make your card bright and cheery – this will lift her spirits!
