Can-drive!
For term four, Springston School has been focusing on challenging change and how we could help with other people trying to cope with challenging change.
For Room 6 students, Mrs Taylor helped us brainstorm lots of ways we could help people. My group was Philip, Hannah and me, Courtney. After hearing about the Samoan Tsunami we decided we would do everything we could to get Samoa what they needed. There were a whole bunch of teams from our class wanting to fundraise for Samoa, but luckily we had all the ideas for what we wanted to do.
Our first idea was a can-drive. We figured that people would rather give cans than money. Mrs Taylor thought this was a great idea and set us straight to work on it. We decided we wanted our can-drive to be a competition so we told everyone it would be from the 15th-19th of November and the class with the most cans at the end of the week would win their own personal mufti day!
At the end of the week we had an amazing result. We had a total of 203 cans and $26 so the result was unbelievable! Room 5 was the winner of the mufti day with a total of 55 cans. Well done Springston School. Samoa will be happy with our result.

Courtney - you did a great job with your recount and I really liked the idea of your School raising money for Samoa. We had a can collection at our school and the donations went to the Salvation Army for people in need at Christmas.

That sounds like such an awesome idea, Courtney. Your recount about the fundraising you did was really clear and we enjoyed reading it. We're sure that the money you raised made a real difference to those people coping with the challenges they have faced.
ReplyDeleteWe have also done some fundraising at our school for people in Samoa by having a mufti day and a sausage sizzle.
