Many students have seen images of the devastating flooding that struck our small state after Tropical Storm Irene passed through.  We offered any interested student the opportunity to give up the short 8:15-8:30 recess on Friday to plan our response, and several students joined Ms. Millham, Ms. Routsong, and myself to make plans.

The students chose to raise money to donate to families and those helping families who lost so much in the flood.  To raise funds, they are holding a “coin race” they call “Change for Help.”  Students stayed in from their lunch recess to make posters.  The “race” part is a contest between houses – whichever house raises the most money will get an ice cream sandwich at lunch next week.

Following is the schedule:

Tuesday, 9/6: pennies

Wednesday, 9/7: nickels

Thursday, 9/8: dimes

Friday, 9/9: quarters

Thanks for your support!
