Neighbor Appreciation Day was celebrated with over 50 celebrations around Seattle on Saturday but St. Alphonsus Parish School is celebrating this day all week.
Parents and students will be delivering a card and cookies to neighboring businesses to show gratitude for being part of the Ballard neighborhood.
The drawing on the card was drawn by a student in St. Alphonsus Parish School's second grade.
Ben titled his Good Neighbor drawing, "I love my neighbor, Jean." Jean is an elderly neighbor of Ben's who has a large old maple tree in her front yard. Last fall when Ben came home from school Jean was out front raking all the leaves into a big pile. Ben wanted to help her. They raked up a large pile of these big maple leaves and Ben and another neighborhood boy spent hours jumping into the pile of leaves!
A banner with Ben's drawing also hangs on the school's campus fence-line.
