Nickel & Dime Our Way to End Polio

Posted: October 17, 2014

In conjuntion with the Rotary Club, we are holding a “Nickel & Dime Our Way to End Polio Week”, from October 20-October 24.  Each year we choose a service project to develop global citizenship awareness, and teach our students the value in helping others. Teachers will be giving students information on polio and explaining to children the desire of the Rotary Club to eradicate polio from the planet. We are collecting nickels and dimes during the week. These will be given to the Rotary Club. Again this year, the Rotary Club will match our donation.   On Friday, October 24, members of the Rotary will be visiting the school to do a mock immunization. This will make the experience more authentic for the children. Children will have the tip of their finger colored with a bingo dabber to signify their “immunization”. The Rotary Club has also offered to have an icecream party for the class which brings in the most pennies
