Project to Raise Money for the Blank Park Zoo

In the fourth grade, students are encouraged to work on passion projects. This is a
study Of something the child wants to learn about. With our reading program as well
as other subject areas, it is encouraged to extend learning in this manner.
At the beginning of the month, three students came up to me (Debbie Stanley's
class) proposing an idea for a community service project. They researched a couple
ideas and decided to work on a project from the website of the Blank Park Zoo. The
girls found that money could be donated to help with the care of some of the animals
there. Excitement for this project began to increase and it was decided through a
class vote to help with the Red Panda, the giraffe, the lion and the wallaby. About this
time, the sad news was revealed that the lion at the Zoo had to be euthanized because
it had cancer. We were upset about this, but it was decided to still include the lion in
our journey to raise money.
After presenting the idea to Principal Jill Anderson, the planning began for how
we could raise money to donate in the name of these animals. The first idea was to
sell donated Water to Lakewood students during the week of Iowa Assessments. The
following week we added snack items to our concessions. Parents did a great job
donating items to sell as well as Fareway and Scott's Foods. Each morning a group of
students from our class would manage the concession table selling items to students
as they arrived each morning. This was very popular! We had many, many students
visiting the table each morning to help with the project and purchasing items that
were for sale.
We are now winding down with our sales. We have also added donation jars to
Casey's, Wendy's and Fareway and some of the workplaces of the parents in our
dass. We plan to bring our journey to a dose at the end of April. The good news fight
now is that the students have collected over $500 at this time. This is AMAZING! An
artide will update everyone after we return from a presentation to the zoo Thursday,
May 10. If you would like to donate to our project, feel free fo drop off money to the
Lakewood Elementary office.
