The Results Are In

Kindergarten and grade 4 students teamed up for a read-a-thon.  Their experience had many wonderful benefits.  As global citizens who have become aware of the needs of others, they were motivated to read to raise funds to make a donation to Heifer International.   They are hunger heroes!

Congratulations, students raised $2000!

Fourth graders collected and organized the donations and then created proposals of how the money would be allocated.  Finally they created an online survey that enabled all to vote.

The results are in!  28% voted to support others by applying our donation in the following manner:
28 chickens, 2 llamas, 2 ducks, 2 buffalo, 2 pigs, 2 goats and 1 tree!

Furthermore, students are currently researching and learning about these animals as part of our exploration into researching and studying living vs non- living!  Students will be writing scripts soon and will then make a video presentation about the animals they researched!
