Mrs. Young's Kindergarten class spent the last month conducting a can and bottle drive to raise money for Anita's Steven Swan Humane Society. 

In the beginning of the month the students learned about Ramadan. Many unfamiliar with this holiday and the cultures that celebrate it. The students were so interested, especially when connections were made to the students who are in our classroom.

During this time, we all learned that the month of Ramadan is spent fulfilling good deeds, along with other great things. What better way to teach the kids about kindness and inclusion than to get them involved with a good deed involving a charity? 

After speaking with the students, they decided to help out the dogs and cats that our in our community. They spent a month working hard- collecting cans and bottles from the community and bringing them to school. At the end, the students raised $300! 

We are so very proud of these Junior Raiders!
