Today, the school had a fundraiser at Barnes and Noble Books. Part of the sales from the day were donated to the school. Many teachers volunteered to read a book at the store to encourage people to come and join the fundraiser.
Mrs. Yollis chose to read a book called Beatrice's Goat by Page McBrier.
This book is about a Ugandan girl named Beatrice whose family is given the gift of a female goat from Heifer International. Beatrice sells the goat milk and is able to earn enough money to pay for her education.
Before Mrs. Yollis read the book, two students talked to the crowd about The Ugandan Global Project.
The students sang The Hello Song they learned from Mr. Salsich's class in Connecticut
and Chay Chay Koo Lay, a Swahili song Mr. B. taught the class.
