Student Action: Elephant Fundraiser
A number of students in Toucan class: Whitney, Ellen, Clara, Raffie, and Yada are fundraising for elephants.
Just before half term the students sold baked goods including cookies, brownies, cupcakes, and much more. Also, they sold paintings, bookmarks, and had a lucky toy dip. With the money they raised they will send it to a charity called ‘Save the Elephants’ to help protect them.
The student perspective on the Fundraiser:
“At the beginning I was nervous but now I realise this is a way to make a difference in the world.” - Clara
“ I wanted to save the elephants because they are creatures that need help. People are killing them without permission and they need help.” - Ellen
“When My father told me animals were getting killed for something as meaningless as their tusks I promised myself someday I would help them and this fundraiser is fulfilling my promise.” - Whitney
“I've always wanted to help an endangered species so having this chance is incredible.” - Raffie
“I feel like it's nice to help endangered species and it makes me feel good that I have helped.” - Yada
We would appreciate your help
Our next fundraiser will be selling baked goods, paintings, bookmarks, a lucky toy dip, and BALLOONS!!!
