 A special thank you to the Grade 6 class of Our Lady of Grace Catholic School, Kitchener, for their magnificent donation of $300.00 presented to the Humane Educator, Nancy Cressman, on her visit to their school on May 10, 2010. The class, under the leadership of their teacher, Sacha Targosz, decided they wanted to make a difference in their community. They made hundreds of Christmas ornaments that were sold to other students of the school, parents and community members. They raised enough money to both support both the Kitchener-Waterloo Humane Society and Toronto Sick Kids Hospital.
The Grade 6 class was participating in the Junior Achievement program called ‘A Business of our Own’. Under this program, they were required to create, organize, advertise, price and sell a product. With their teacher’s guidance, they came up with the idea to sell homemade little angels. They named them ‘Silver Heart Angels’. These angels could be used as ornaments or as a pin. They were displayed on a small card with a poem on the back.
A letter went home to all the families in their school telling them about the program, the product being sold, and about the two charities their proceeds would support. The angels were sold during lunch time periods for one week and during their parent-teacher interviews for two nights. The students priced them for $1.00 each, three for $2.50, or six for $5.00. The success of these angels was overwhelming! They ran out of materials and had to purchase more to keep up with the demand. It took two full school days to make enough angels to complete and deliver all the orders.
Thank you Grade 6 students, for all your work and organization to help the animals at our Centre. Your efforts are so appreciated!

It has been a busy week here at Franklin Public School. Not only did Amy Weido’s Room 10, Grade 3 students, have their Dodge-Ball-A-Thon to raise money for the Kitchener-Waterloo Humane S ociety (KWHS), but Room 13 (a grade 4/5 class) also hosted a bake sale to raise more funds for the KWHS.
Altogether, the students raised $1,399.00! Of this, $999.00 was revenue from the Dog-Ball-A-Thon, and $400 from the Bake Sale. This was an amazing feat!
These kids were so excited to help out Kitchener-Waterloo animals. They planned and organized the event as well as made posters and school announcements to involve all the students and parents of their school. A special thanks as well as all those who participated in making all those luscious goodies sold at the Bake Sale.
It is very encouraging to us at the KWHS to see a class group of youth so caring and inspired to help the animals at the Centre, and willing to expend so much effort on the behalf of these needy animals. We appreciate it and thank you! Bravo students of Rooms 10 and 13 from Franklin Public School.

"Help Me, Help Them” was the theme of Megan O'Toole's fundraiser for the Kitchener-Waterloo Humane Society (KWHS). Meghan, age 6, was a participant in the Fall 2009 Jr. Vet Club Program, hosted at our Centre.
As part of the program, Jr. Vets have the option of challenging themselves with outside projects; one of these projects was to do something kind for an animal or animals. Megan took up this challenge and decided that for her project she would like to do a fundraiser for the KWHS by collecting small change - mostly pennies - at her school and from around her neighbourhood. Megan made posters, a collection tin, and decorated her Jr. Vet t-shirt to help raise awareness of her cause. By the end of Jr. Vet Club, Megan had managed to collect over 35 rolls of pennies, but when including additional change, put together an outstanding donation of $111.53!
Just as many of us don’t think much about the value of a penny, we may hesitate to contribute our individual efforts; but remember that they may inspire others to take action, just as Megan’s has in her community; and together, making a difference becomes entirely possible.
Great work Megan! The KWHS gives you our deepest thanks. |
