UPDATE!!! We have now decided to sell Candygrams for Valentine's Day! We will have sales every Friday, starting Friday, January 27, leading up to Valentine's Day. Our goal is to raise as much money as possible for newcomers to have access to swimming lessons. We'd like to help at least 4 children, roughly working out to $360, but if possible, we'd like to help even more! Today we will put our plan into action to help people new to Canada have the opportunity to take swimming lessons. As we saw in various news articles and videos, there were multiple drownings this past summer in Manitoba and many of them were young people new to Canada. After our "Please Help Us Help Our Country Unit" Syria was nominated as the place needing the most help. Being that this country is in crisis, it may make more sense to help people who have moved to Canada, looking for a new start in a new country.
This weekend, I headed to the story to pick up the supplies. Today we work on our posters, letters and announcements so we are ready for this Friday.
Today you will make a choice of how you will help our cause.
1) Write a letter to a nearby business organization to ask for money and or donations we can use to create Candy Sticks and/or Tim Bits Sticks to sell.
2) Create a poster advertising the Candy Stick/TimBit Stick Sale.
3) Write an announcement we can include in the daily announcements to let Chief Peguis staff and students what we are doing and when it is happening. We will break off into groups to be efficient.
All letters, posters and announcements need to be as close to completed as possible today. We have a bit of time tomorrow to finish up, with all posters, letters and announcements ready for distribution by Friday.
