Lincoln first-grade students send messages of support to children in hospital

In recognition of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in September, students in Mrs. Pereira’s first grade class at Lincoln School used their creativity and compassion to make a difference in the lives of children receiving treatment at New York-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital in New York City.

The first graders drew and colored cheerful pictures that will be distributed to pediatric patients, offering messages of hope, encouragement, and support. Through this meaningful service project, students learned the importance of empathy, kindness, and helping others in their community.

The project was inspired by Mrs. Pereira’s daughter, Adriana Pereira, a Pediatric Hematology, Oncology, and Bone Marrow Transplant nurse who cares for children and families facing serious illnesses. During her visit to the classroom, Ms. Pereira spoke with students about the impact that small acts of kindness can have on children receiving medical care.

In addition, Ms. Pereira shared her recently published children's book, which highlights the experiences of children living with illnesses and disabilities. The book helped foster meaningful conversations about inclusion, understanding, and celebrating the strengths of all children.

By combining art, literacy, and service, Mrs. Pereira’s class demonstrated that even the smallest gestures can make a big difference. The district is proud of these young learners for spreading joy, raising awareness, and showing compassion for children facing challenging circumstances.
