CP Jihad: School Penny Project
This jihad request is not to help me win some online cutest baby contest, but for you to watch the following video made by a colleague of mine at the school I teach at.
This video was played to our grade 5/6 classes last week, and to our grade 7, 8 and 9 students in an assembly on Thursday. The most amazing and inspiring part of all this is how our students have bought into this idea of helping others and changing the world for the better. The Grade 5/6 kids have collected just under 75kg of pennies in one week. Another student created a facebook group that has about 700 members in less than 48 hours. We are going to hold a name and logo contest next week.
Please consider dropping off any unwanted pennies at Simon Fraser School, located just east of Northland Village Shoppes and Sir Winston Churchill School in NW Calgary. Just leave them in the office, and we will add them to the collection.
P.S.: None of this is a response to CBE budget shortfalls. It's 100% for charity!
