Teaching Citizenship

This past summer my daughter and I travelled to Africa to help build a school.  We have been trying to find a way to share our experience in Africa and this is a project she came up with to motivate other kids. 

Please click on this link to learn more about Remy's bracelet project

Remy's Bracelet Project

Students in all classes have had chance to view Remy's video and 3A is partnering with Remy to sell the bracelets here at Talbot Trail.  Our class has had some wonderful discussions about what it means to help others and be a good citizen in the community.  3A students will be in charge of advertising (in print and on the announcements), selling and counting money.  I know this will be a rewarding experience for the students as they do their share to show that kids can change the world!
