Mrs. Yollis' Class Walks for Uganda!

For the month of October, Mrs. Yollis and her class have been working on the Ugandan Global Project. The international members are: 2KM  * 2KJ * Mrs. Yollis * Mrs. Ranney * Mr. Salsich * Team Toa  


The project raises money to purchase a play area for the students of the ABC Divine Foundation School in Uganda. Donations can be made via check or PayPal here. 
 
On Friday, October 22nd Mrs. Yollis' and Mrs. Ranney's classes walked their hilly community to raise awareness and money for their new Ugandan friends.

It was a lovely autumn day. Although the weather forecast predicted rain, it was a magnificent 68˚ F (18˚ C)! Thanks to the parents who help with the community walk!

What was your favorite part of the walk?

Do you have any questions for the classes?

Barnes and Noble Fundraising!

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.

Many people who attended the school fundraiser donated money to the Ugandan Global Project.

Thank You!

How did you enjoy the performance?

What can be learned? 

Ben just taught us a fact about the Ugandan flag. He said, "The flag has black, yellow, and red in it."  


True!

Does anyone know what the colors or image symbolize?
