Craft, Create, Celebrate: Spanish River Sharks Bring Thanksgiving Fun to Kids

Rylie Heck and the Spanish River Sharks Chapter spread creativity and encouragement this holiday season with their Thanksgiving Hand Turkey Craft Kit initiative.

The chapter assembled 45 Thanksgiving goodie bags, each thoughtfully put together with a word search, a hand-drawn card, instructions, and all the materials needed to make a fun and festive hand turkey craft. By combining creativity with messages of encouragement and inspiration, these kits brought smiles and a sense of connection to the recipients.

Why This Matters

Thanksgiving is a time for gratitude and togetherness, but not every child has the opportunity to take part in festive activities. These craft kits provided a creative way for kids to engage in the holiday spirit while also receiving uplifting messages of encouragement. A simple craft can inspire creativity, boost confidence, and bring joy to children who may need it most.

How You Can Help

At STUDENTS Speak Up for Kids, we believe in using creativity to make a difference. Here’s how you can contribute:

  • Donate craft supplies to support similar creative projects for kids.

  • Organize a holiday-themed craft kit drive to bring joy to children in need.

  • Join or start a chapter to lead service projects that provide encouragement and inspiration to kids.

Thank you to Rylie Heck and the Spanish River Sharks Chapter for making Thanksgiving extra special with their creativity and generosity.
