Terry Fox Elementary raised $614.86!!!

Posted on June 19, 2010 by David Couillard

All money collected was donated to Animatch!!!!

This year the students from Ms. Roberta’s Grade 2 class at Terry Fox Elementary School were involved in an animal awareness unit. This unit was chosen as it allowed the children to better understand the needs and issues that animals face in our ever changing world.

The final project for this unit required students to build a replica of an animal hospital and an animal adoption agency using clay. On June 9th students presented their displays to the entire student body of Terry Fox and explained the role of these organizations within our communities.

In teaching our students about the importance of advocacy and social responsibility we requested that all students who visited this exhibition make a contribution of one dime or more. We are proud to announce that this project was a resounding success!! Together Terry Fox Elementary raised $614.86!!!

All money collected was donated to Animatch!!!! From this experience our students learned that small acts of kindness can change the world in a big way. Together we can make a difference.

It was a real priviledge to meet these wonderful kids this week and see all the work they have done on this unit. Getting our message out to youngsters is a way to teach the world about caring for animals. Way to go kids!!

We had a wonderful time visiting your classroom last week. Henry and Amber thought it was very exciting too!
Do you know what “inspiration” means? Because that’s what you are.
A big thank you to Ms. Roberta and kids from the whole Animatch team. Happy Holidays!

Thank you for the wonderful work you did for Animatch! Is this the Terry Fox school in Vimont? If so, 2 of my kids went to there a while ago. Nice job everyone!

An incredible project led by a truly inspirational teacher. This is what going to school is all about. We’re going to start save our planet when we teach children that they can make a difference.

Perhaps, if some BP execs had teachers like this, the environmental disaster in the Gulf would never have occurred and many innocent animals would still be alive today.

Well done Miss Roberta.
