We Will Stand Up for One Another

We don’t always know how we’ve impacted someone. But as these letters from 8th graders prove, sometimes we do. Because of how heartwarming it can be, may we remember to let others know too.

These letters from 8th graders were received after a speaking engagement & were the sweetest surprise.

Dear Danielle,

Thank you so much for joining us here. Your speech was amazing and so powerful for every young girl in that room!

As we move on to better things it’s important for girls to stick together, just like you did with your friend! So many girls are too scared to stand up or stand tall and your story inspires so many to speak up! So thank you so much for coming to our school and showing girls that it’s okay to be scared and frightened and as a group we will stand up for one another!

Thank you for inspiring every girl in that room!

Respectfully,

K (8th grade)
