Beyond Brilliant (and a Givaway!)

Hannah, Serena and Alex are all very smart. They've been through a lot during their relatvily short lives, but have come through it so well.


Hannah, despite the fact that she's alread had two major heart surgeries, is at the top of her class. Ok, well, she's the only one in her Kindergarten level class... but that's beside the point. Hannah has increased her education in leaps and bounds recently.


When we realized that Serena and Alex were quite similar in their academic level, we were excited for the healthy competition and deep friendship that would form between them as they learned together. These two make up our First Grade class and are both excelling.


Serena, Alex and Hannah have their own little classroom and teachers and love, love, love to learn. They also love to play, so the ample recess time the small class number allows is a huge plus.


In honor of these three fine kiddos, we're going to do a givaway of their personally autographed photos!


Here's how to enter:

1. Comment! It's as simple as that. Tell us how you found out about New Day Foster Home, or if you're a sponsor/adoptive parent. (one entry)
2. Share the NDFH blog link (http://www.newdayfosterhome.blogspot.com/) on twitter or facebook. Leave a comment letting us know that you did this. (one entry)
3. Post about NDFH on YOUR blog. Again, leave us a comment letting us know that you did this and share the link. (one entry)

We'll put all of the entries (up to 3 per person!) in a hat and have someone (maybe one of the kids?) draw a name. You have until October 3rd to get your comment in!

  10. I don´t remember when I found NDFH, but it was amazing. Did you remember Lily? Her family got her referral and they showed her to our group (spanish families who adopt sn chidren), but they didn´t know NDFH. I phoned them a night, I said: I sent a present for you, please open your mail. Her mother and me both began to cry ,,, thrilling..

  15. The kids of NewDay and the peeps who volunteer and work there have frequented my mind everday since I left. I volunteered in the pre-school summer of 2010, and found out about ND through my sister who was working there as an english teacher at the time. My dorm room walls are covered with their photos and my heart even more so. I hope to be back there someday! Although the faces are often changing the love is always the same :D
