Dear Friends and Family, Sometimes my crazy ideas remain in the dustbin of misguided inspirations. &nbsp;THIS one is very different. &nbsp;I&rsquo;m part of the Soulful Grandma Brigade and we all fell in love with the kids and teachers at Doolittle School in Cheshire.With the wonderful help of the school counselor, we&rsquo;ve been creating a social-emotional learning program that brings together a transformed school courtyard, a children&rsquo;s book, music, art, and some pretty lovable characters to help children learn the life skills we all wish came with an instruction manual. At the heart of it is Buddy, a little dog who sneaks into Doolittle School looking for a safe place to belong. There, he meets a flock of birds called the Tweethearts, who become his teachers, helpers, and friends as they lead him through the Trust the Wind Trail. Along the way, Buddy learns about gratitude, feelings, kindness, mindfulness, resilience, grief, forgiveness, and being exactly who he is. And eventually he figures out his SOLE purpose in life: to discover his SOUL.The real Doolittle courtyard is being transformed to bring Buddy&rsquo;s journey to life&mdash;including gardens, special learning spaces, and a beautiful mural of Mindful Mountain. And this is where I&rsquo;m asking my friends and family to help. For $46, you can sponsor a Doolittle classroom. Sponsor two for $92! Each sponsored teacher will receive a custom canvas bag filled with the Buddy book, a plush Buddy puppy, classroom materials, stickers, music, and everything they need to bring the lessons to their students. Your support goes directly into the hands of a teacher&mdash;and from there, into the hearts and minds of children.I can&rsquo;t tell you how excited I am to watch this little idea come to life. If you&rsquo;d like to sponsor a classroom (or two!), I would be incredibly grateful. Thank you for always cheering me&mdash;and my crazy ideas&mdash;on. &nbsp;I think the kids are going to LOVE this! With love and gratitude, &nbsp;Terry&nbsp;

We are the Soulful Grandma Brigade, a group of senior women who have adopted Doolittle Schoola in Cheshire, Connecticut. &nbsp;They have an extraordinary Courtyard in the center of their classrooms that is a learning hub and gathering space for the children and teachers. &nbsp; The soulful grandmas have been in the process of turning it into a trust the wind Trail complete with a book and music created just for them. &nbsp;We will be reiterating the wonderful social emotional messages that the school so beautifully exemplifies every day. One of the unique features is a beautiful Koi pond that has been part of their courtyard for 10 years. &nbsp;It needs a little TLC. We have found a wonderful company that are going to come in and help update and maintain the koi pond so children can continue to enjoy it for years to come. This is where you come in! &nbsp;The Soulful Sydney nonprofit would like to make that a reality for the kids. The total cost is $1,600 but we&#39;ve already had a generous anonymous donation of $400 to get us started. &nbsp; Please consider giving us a tax-deductible donation today so we can have this ready for the kids when they come back to school in September.
