Starting the School Year with Support: FAU Owls and Community Service Club Uplift Students

EachSarah Meyer Bertheau and the FAU Owls Chapter of STUDENTS Speak Up for Kids, in collaboration with the FAU Community Service Club, helped students start the school year on a positive note by creating and distributing handwritten back-to-school cards filled with encouragement and motivation.

Each card carried uplifting messages and words of support, reminding students that they are capable, valued, and ready to take on the challenges of a new academic year. The teamwork between the FAU Owls and the FAU Community Service Club helped ensure that more students received these thoughtful reminders that their community is cheering them on.

Why This Matters

A new school year brings excitement, but it can also come with uncertainties and challenges. A simple handwritten card can provide a boost of confidence and reassurance, making a meaningful impact on a student’s mindset. This initiative helped remind students that they are not alone and that their community believes in their success.

How You Can Help

At STUDENTS Speak Up for Kids, we believe that small gestures of kindness can create lasting change. Here’s how you can support students in your community:

  • Write and donate encouragement cards to inspire students.

  • Partner with local schools or organizations to distribute school-year support materials.

  • Join or start a chapter to lead service projects that uplift and empower students.

Thank you to Sarah Meyer Bertheau, the FAU Owls, and the FAU Community Service Club for spreading kindness and encouragement, helping students feel supported as they begin their school year.
