The staff and students of GSMS are once again helping Friends for Zambia build a much needed school for their community, The Twitti School. Former teachers from the Fredericton/Oromocto area are heading up this special project and the students of GSMS are very proud to help out. Last year, we donated a little over $2000 to help and this year we are off to a great start.
We had our first dress up day on Thursday November 28 in which students paid a loonie to wear their PJ's to school. Around 300$ was collected on this day. Students are now planning a red/green day on the last day of school with the same idea.
On going is a "spare change" campaign in which students donate their spare change such as dimes, nickles and pennies to our Funds for Twitti School. We hope that over the year, we can collect lots of spare change for this school.
To find out more about the Twitti School please visit: www.friendsforzambia.org. On the website you will meet the teachers who are making this school possible, updates on the building of the school as well as any other information needed. The good news is that 100% of the money raised goes directly to the school. If any organization or family is interested in contributing to this project, please contact either Lise Martin-Keilty (lise.martin-keilty@nbed.nb.ca) or Sarah Ludford (sarah.ludford@nbed.nb.ca). You call also reach us at our school number 453-5419. Together, as a school community, we can make a difference in this special project.
