Autum was all heart when she decided to take on the promotion of the NASH FM 100,000 thank you challenge!

Autum loves helping others. She is also currently looking for a children's hospital to collect and send stuffed animals too. "It's so easy to help. If everyone just took like 10 minutes to write a card or more than one we would have so many. I would be so happy! I wish I could deliver them!" ~Autum, age 8

Bryce has created his own business, "Jimmy Rocks"...which has recently been renamed "Ramsey Rocks." He got the idea from "Jimmy Bears," the wood carver in Mahwah who carves bears out of tree stumps that can be seen around town . Like, Jimmy's bears, Bryce brings a smile to people's faces, with the art he makes from nature. He spent many summer days "excavating" rocks from around his property in his wheelbarrow - some extremely large and very heavy! He cleans them up and then paints them with "happy" pictures-hearts, sunshine, rainbows, etc. He wants to deliver them to all of the neighbors on his street, to put a "smile on everyone's face when they see them." He plans on expanding his business by delivering Ramsey Rocks to his friends all over Ramsey once he's finished with all the houses on our street. He takes his work very seriously. Ramsey Rocks is a non-profit organization. ~Bryce, 5 years old

She continually pushes herself to to learn things she has not been taught yet. "Mommy, my class is so smart today, look what they have learned." ~Violet, 7 years old
