Kids Making Change Campaign

To help Montpelier UES students to get connected and involved in flood relief efforts here in Vermont, we have created a connection with Moretown Elementary to help serve the kids and community impacted by Hurricane Irene floods.  We have been told by the administration at Moretown Elementary that the greatest need is having financial resources available for school activities.

To this end, UES will hold a week long "Kids Making Change" campaign.  In each classroom at UES there will be a donation jar/jug where kids in that classroom can contribute change from their home penny jars and allowances that will go directly to help kids in Moretown.  At the end of the week, the monies from each classroom will be added up and parents will be asked to make a 2:1 match of the money raised by their kids.



In our classroom, a reporter came in to take a picture of our students donating to this good cause.  Check out the TIMES ARGUS for our picture!  If someone would like to send in a copy of the newspaper for our classroom, we'd be grateful!  Here's a picture of our class getting their pictures taken by the reporter!  We will be accepting donations throughout the week so if your child has loose change, please feel free to have them bring it to school to help this great cause.
