❤️🧸A Community Effort to Comfort Students in Need🧸❤️
Bedford County School Board Member Mr. Glenn Forsee's granddaughter, Elizabeth Foresee, has begun a “Passing on Love” initiative in memory of her dear friend Asher Sullivan. 🌟
Kaycee Sullivan, Asher’s mother, recently joined Elizabeth and Mr. Forsee at #CommunityElementarySchool to share kindness and comfort with #students. During their visit, they personally handed out stuffed animals 🧸 to students in need, brightening their day and providing comfort.
The Forsee family and the Sullivan family are also providing additional stuffed animals 🧸 to the school counselor and school social work team, ensuring students across #BedfordCountySchools continue to receive support whenever they need it most. ❤️
Asher’s Animals represent the hands and hearts of caring individuals coming together to provide comfort through stuffed animals and meaningful support for students.🤝
We are #grateful for community partners who help make a positive difference in the lives of our students. 🌟
