My name is Daniel and I am an 8th grader in Franklin, MA. During this year we are asked to do a Capstone project, which is somewhat like a senior project in high school where each student is asked to raise money for a charity of choice. The charity I chose was the Stuttering Foundation. I raised $197.
did this by holding a movie night where we showed The Sandlot. donated cookbooks
faculty and sold them at a farmer’s market.
I chose the Stuttering Foundation to raise money because
I have struggled with
stuttering. I know that there are multiple degrees of stuttering and I was fortunate that mine was not severe but I still needed a speech therapist. It is something that I still continue to work on to this day.
I hope that you can use this money to help others who are affected by this speech impediment. Thank you for all that you do.
Sincerely, Daniel, 8th Grade, from Millis, MA
Hi! My name is Olivia! I’m 9 and I live in California. I love to swim, do aerial yoga, and read
Harry Potter. My dad likes to collect
tarantulas, snakes,and hissing cockroaches. My mom raises butterflies.
I sometimes stutter. I’ve gone to speech therapy for
two years. My strategies are like pills with medicine for stuttering. My favorite strategy is cancellation. Everyone remember: stuttering makes you unique!
Olivia, 9, Costa Mesa, CA I also collected from students and

grade.
I go to speech to learn to slow down. When I stutter my brain feels confused. I don’t like when people talk for me. I get stuck and I say "I I I I I I".
I AM PROUD
My name is Brock and I like video games. My favorite video games are Harry Potter and SpongeBob Baseball. If someone tells you to stop being bumpy, you should go to your speech teacher for help. Sometimes you have to ignore other kids. I am proud of my speech!
