Ms. Brajcich and the grade 3/4 class at Wishart Elementary. Missing is Mrs. Bevan who is also a part of the fundraiser.
Our grade three and four students at Wishart Elementary are fundraising for the families and children in the Philippines after last weeks devastating typhoon. The grade 3/4 class wanted to help out because they couldn’t imagine themselves without water, food and clothing. “It is times like these that we put aside teaching multiplication tables or the water cycle and focus on the world as a global, supportive community,” says Ms. Brajcich. “My students’ sense of empathy and the desire to help children so very far away is inspiring and worth every minute in the classroom.”
