Genius at Work

What a great year it has been for genius projects in our class.  This final term has really wowed me with both the commitment many showed to their projects and the improvement in the presentation styles. 
This term focused on our class taking on a service project.  They were asked to choose a social issue they were passionate about and try to create some change for the good.  Some students chose to educate others bout their cause, some took surveys and used that information to guide ways others could help and many chose to fundraise to help their cause.  Some themes were quite popular this year.  We had a lot of kids fundraise for the SPCA to end animal cruelty and  Kidsport to help kids afford to play sports but we also saw projects supporting education for girls, water conservation, and homelessness issues affecting adults and youth.
our class worked very hard on these projects, reaching out to the different organizations for information and volunteer service and as a class your children raised over $1200.00 towards their causes through coin drives, lemonade stands and bottle drives. 
When you add this service to the work we did in December assembling homeless care kits and buying toys for tots Division 3 has demonstrated a huge amount of compassion and caring for others this year.  I am so proud of this group of students and I know you are as well.

Great job Division 3, you have set the bar high for others in our school!
