Mosquito Nets (NOT JUST) for Christmas!
Thank you to everyone who purchased holiday cards in support of for Plan Canada’s Spread the Net Student Challenge at Fern, and to the students of M. Gelinas' class who donated their time and creativity to creating the cards. They were a huge success, resulting in a total of $2740 raised to date! That's 274 nets that can protect up to 548 kids for 3 years from malaria.
Fern students are competing with elementary schools across Canada to raise the most money for the program, and win a visit from the Rick Mercer Report. Last year the top fundraising elementary school raised approximately $5500.
We still have until February 28 to continue to raise money for more nets! Stay tuned in the New Year for more fun and exciting events being planned by Fern students, but in the meantime: You can keep the pledges coming by downloading a pledge form here to fill out with your kids to buy a net, and ask friends and family to pitch in.
Too plugged in for paper? You can also buy a net by texting the Fern Ave PS keyword (NETS39) to 30333 If you and your child would like to help out, contact Matt Bera at mbera@rogers.com.
Thanks again and happy holidays!
