With the current aftermath of Sandy. We are personally effected. To help raise awareness with students and the community, the students could host a food drive. To make it a school wide effort classes can compete to see who brings in the most food. Additionally, they could start a pennies drive, were students bring pennies in from their home to donate.
To make it more personal, teachers could arrange live webcast with schools that have been displaced from their buildings. This would make the connection more personal and real to the students.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI like your ideas of a food drive and penny drive. If you are interested, there is a local food pantry initiative that is geared towards younger individuals at:

In addition to the local pantry drive, students can pick a cause they are interested in, either at the local or national level. Although it is geared to middle school students and older, it is also possible to find projects for other age groups as well. Amy
I really like the idea of a penny drive, but I agree with Amy. The students at my school participate in the local food closets food drive every month. We utilize our student council to collect the food. The kids love to help.
