Civic Engagement Clearinghouse
Eastern Washington University
For my project, I will be collecting pop tabs off cans for the Ronald McDonald House Charity. These pop tabs go towards a great cause, they can help support families. The organization helps with providing rooms for families or finding resources to assist families. Students will be working together to collect as many pop-tabs as they can to help the families in need.
My 2nd grade students donated t-shirts that they no longer used at home, and together as a class we made dog toys to donate to the Spokane Humane Society. The students got to choose if they wanted to use short strips of t-shirts or long ones, to either make a toy for a big dog or a small one. Each student made two dog toys, because we had so many t-shirt donations, so we were able to donate about 50 dog toys.
My 4th grade students raised money and worked with Kiva to provide small loans to business people across the globe. The students were able to select the individual business person they wanted to support which made the project more personal. Now, they can track the repayment of the loan and start thinking about who they want to support next!
