Make a Wish- Fall
2006/07-$300.00
2007/08-$400.00
Students are asked to earn money to donate to this organization by providing some type of service. Creativity is admirable.
The students also sold healthy snacks during lunch to help raise money for the organization.
Examples: One student sold hot dogs at her father's business on a Saturday. Others have raked leaves, piled wood, walked dogs, cleaned, and shoveled snow.
The goal of this program is to encourage a spirit of volunteerism and
service. Each student is keeping track of their
service hours and
work performed and will have to do an end of the year reflection paper.
