Testimony of a happy mama bear

“She loves it! (Simple Teen Box – calligraphy)…from the great use of repurposing materials to the cool calligraphy set and the personalization of everything. This is such an amazing thing these teens are doing. She also loves that you support a charity.”

She has started using her calligraphy pen to keep track of assignments in a notebook because getting to use a “fancy pen and practice her calligraphy “was something that made it easier for her to remember to finish all parts of the assignments!” 3/16/2021 Chicago mom
