First Grade K-9 Rescue Mission Service Project and Dress Down Day
This year our 1st grade students have been donating coins for Mission K9 Rescue. We will be presenting their donation during our Patriotic Program on Tuesday, May 22nd. Donations are still being collected. Let’s finish strong! There will be a dollar dress down day this Friday, May 11th to raise funds for Mission K9 Rescue. Feel free to donate whatever amount you feel appropriate.
As a reminder here is our post from January about this service project:
Mazzie, a war dog who was abandoned in Kuwait after his service visited our classroom. We learned about the sacrifices many dogs are making to protect the lives of our soldiers. Unfortunately, these dogs can be left behind after their work is done. Mission K-9 Rescue is striving to Rescue, Reunite, Re-Home, Rehabilitate and Repair any retired working dog that has served mankind in some capacity.
This year for one of 1st Grade service learning projects is collecting coins to donate to Mission K9 Rescue.
As a First Grade we have been learning that everyone can serve and help others through stories such as “The Lion and the Mouse”. Though our children may be young, they too can make an important difference and our small contributions of a coin here and a few coins there will truly add up to something great.
We are also learning about financial literacy principles; for example, we are learning about the principle of saving and we are learning that, to earn money, one must work. We are encouraging our students to do extra jobs at home for family or friends to earn coins to add to our Mission K9 Rescue fund.
