TPA/TPJA Dared to Care!

Today was the last day of our Dare to Care Campaign-Drive. The students and I are pleased to say that it was a total success!

What started out as a fairly "slow" day on Monday, picked up wildly on Tuesday (go, Section A!), and by this afternoon here were the numbers:

Section A...435 items
Section B...176 items
Section C....92 items

This was a terrific way to get our whole school involved in helping out those less fortunate, and it was a really wonderful event to have the students of Room 503 lead. Our classroom philosophy, O.T.O. (Other Than Ourselves) was fully realized as we were able to not only give to others who have less, but to call ourselves (and others) to extend a hand.

As Margaret Mead once said:

Never doubt that a small group of commited citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.

A big thank you to all of you parents who donated!

Tomorrow, at homeroom, the Putrasahans will be bringing in a special treat to celebrate the students' efforts and success. They have truly earned it.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Cheers,
Ms. Nicky Pitman
