​Two years ago, SAFFT's Mr. and Mrs. Anderson met with me when my nonprofit was just an idea. Today, I had a meeting with Mr. Anderson to tell him everything I have accomplished so far and my willingness to continue efforts to help their amazing organization. I am so thankful for their support. I'm excited to continue serving their foster children.

I met with Dr. Bodri, the University of North Georgia's Dean of Science & Mathematics. He was so kind and patient. We discussed my science initiative idea to help science professionals be more engaged in the community by teaching at risk youth. I can't wait to get started!

​I am honored to have been chosen as 1 of 2 State Honorees for Georgia to receive the 2018 Prudential Spirit of Community Award! I am so excited to go to Washington D.C. to meet other inspiring kids!!

I was honored to be invited to speak for the women in the Sawnee Woman's Club today. I loved their enthusiasm and support of my work with my nonprofit and conservation of the environment. A BIG thank you to Mrs. Denise and Mrs. Lisa from Reaping Nature for recommending me! Your support means so much! Reaping Nature Educational Outreach Foundation, Inc. Sawnee Woman's Club

​I had a wonderful day teaching the kids science at Presencia! We taught them how to make polymer snow and partnered with GotSmiles? They helped the kids decorate cookies and make wreath ornament crafts. We also delivered a full truck load of gifts that generous donors gave to their sponsored students. A BIG thank you to FBC Dunamis and friends for your blessings and help providing a wonderful Christmas for these students. Thank you Presencia for all you do and allowing us to serve your kids!

​I had fun balancing chemical reactions today in my science lab. I could do pages of this stuff! I ❤️chemistry! Maybe I should make this a science station for the kids I serve. What do you guys think?

​I've had so much fun serving on the Teen Advisory Board this year, under the direction of Ms. Kayla! I can't wait to start up again in January! Serving my community is one of the things I love to do! I'm so thankful that Forsyth County Public Libraries provides opportunities for kids to serve their communities in a positive way. Thank you FCPL! Forsyth County Public Library

​This morning we had the opportunity to help pack snack bags for Feed Forsyth Children. It's such a great mission that provides food to needy children during the holidays. We were honored to meet Mrs. Teresa Banker. She started Feed Forsyth Children and is a wonderful gift to many.

​SSK brought science fun to children of immigrants. Presencia is an amazing organization! Super Science Kids provided six science stations for the kids to rotate through: Optical Illusion, Dinosaurs/Fossils, Polymers, Bubble Science, Cause&Effect, and Sound Sandwiches! We are so thankful for the opportunity and for our amazing volunteers! One little girl said, "Oh man, why does this good day have to end!" We had a blast, too!!💚

​Studying our route for our cross-country science tour. So excited! I can't wait to visit all of the children's shelters and foster organizations!! I'm planning to visit 14. I can't wait!!

Dear Mr. Spangler,
I just want to thank you for everything you do for kids. Your science experiment ideas have helped me SO much with providing science fun to at-risk kids. Recently, I did an event for low-income housing. I taught bubble science using your method of cutting the pipettes, using glycerine in the bubble mixture, and using hand gloves. The kids LOVED it and I had SO much fun teaching it! Here's a picture of me teaching. And your slime goo kit has helped me ...provide "make your own slime" stations at shelters, refugee afterschool programs, and foster events!! Who doesn't love slime?

​Oh and my mom and I watched your STEM camp live FB post, because we hope to do a stem camp next summer for foster kids, and I think you're so right...I need to let all the kids I meet know that there's a job out their waiting just for them! I hope to inspire the next scientists, too.
So, thank you again for everything you do and for helping me empower kids!!
​Love, Jelly

​I had a late night packing Summer Science Snack backpacks for the foster kids. These will have our fun Causality kit in them. I hope the kids enjoy them.

​Join me in fundraising for Red Nose Day, May 25th! For every person I can take a picture with wearing our red noses together, I will donate $1 of money I have saved. It will also be matched by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation!
So what does a donation do? The money we raise supports projects that ensure kids are safe, healthy, educated, and EMPOWERED!!! Red Nose Day funds programs in all 50 states and in some of the poorest communities in Latin America, Asia and Africa.

​Thank you so much Super Science Scholastics for willing to donate 300 of your awesome magazines!!!! These wonderful magazines will be given to the kids at the shelters during my cross country tour. It is such a funny coincidence that we both have "super science" in our names!! Sciencey minds think alike!

​I just want to send a BIG thank you to Little Passports!!! They let me use their science kits at station events for at-risk kids. So far, I have used their Optics kit at Atlanta Mission, Low-Income Apartments, and at a refugee after-school program. We use their science kit to help teach about optics and then Super Science Kids helps the kids make their own Thaumatropes to keep. They love this station. Also, Little Passports donated 10 science kits for my cross country tour I will be doing this summer. I will be visiting shelters and foster organizations across the United States to bring them science kits. Their support means a lot to me. Thank you, Little Passports!

​Doing science stations for the refugee kids today was so much fun!!! I love being with all the kids so much!!! A BIG thank you to my friend, Lilli, and Mr. Michael for helping me teach today! I couldn't have done it without them. Thank you so much Mom and Dad for helping too.❤️😄

I am so thankful to have received a huge shipment of book donations from Apologetics Press today!!! These will be amazing gifts to the kids we serve!! Thank you sooo much, Apologetics Press!

​I had a great conference call this morning with a publisher willing to donate materials to the kids I serve! I'm so thankful that they were willing to talk with me.

​It was an awesome event tonight! I think the kids had so much fun! We did a science station night for one of the apartment complexes downtown. I loved that the kids kept saying, "This is so much fun!" We served around 30 kids!

​I had so much fun supporting MentorMe this afternoon at Barnes&Noble! I think the kids had a lot of fun making sound sandwiches. Thank you MentorMe! Thank you, Mrs. Jenny! I hope the fundraiser is a GREAT success!!

​Late night packing backpacks for my Summer Science Snacks project for foster kids. Kicking off event at SAFFT's Kids Night Out on Saturday!

​I had SO much fun buying snacks for my upcoming science program for foster kids called Summer Science Snacks. My friend, Sydney, helped me with my list. I hope these snacks make the kids I serve smile.❤️

I want to give a big thank you to Mrs. Cammy for donating these wonderful science kits! We gave them to Bald Ridge Boy's Shelter today. They were so excited! I hope the boys enjoy them!
