WHAT'S HAPPENING
***Helping Kiko's Family!!!***
#TeamWatchungforKoalas
Miss Donohue's class "adopted" a Koala named Kiko. Kiko arrived in September and is from Australia. Kiko, the Kind Koala is the students' take home pet. Each child takes her home every week and has to do a random act of kindness with her. They then journal about their week with her and how they spread kindness to others. Since the students believe her family lives in Australia, they want to do an act of kindness for Kiko.
Many Watchung students have expressed a desire to help fight the wildfires in Australia and save the animals. In various classes, we have talked about the wildfires in Australia and how they have impacted many koalas as well as people. Miss Donohue's class and Student Council's desire to help have led to us starting a school wide fundraiser.
Student council members will manage this fundraising event. Starting today, Monday, January 27 through Friday January 31, they will promote the cause and collect the envelopes. All donations will be sent to the Australian Koala Foundation. We hope this is a major success and we can raise a lot of money to help out "Kiko's family" Please help support our fundraising efforts. If you are interested in donating, please send in a cash donation in an envelope entitled "koala donation."
On Friday, we will celebrate our acts of kindness by having a TEAM spirit day! All students are encouraged to wear their favorite team jersey, sports uniforms or favorite team colors! The class with the most TEAM spirit will get a special shoutout by the whole school on Friday afternoon. It will be a fun way to end a week of fundraising.
Please help us help the animals affected by the Australian wildfires.
Donation window: Monday, January 27 through Friday January 31
