Every Wednesday, After School students at Kawana Elementary School engage in lessons called “Kindness Counts”, which focus on helping their community and the world around them. Throughout the year, Promise Fellow Katie Brooks has put together many lessons, some which allowed students to send warm wishes to the elderly, and encouraging others to engage in physical activity.
This past month, third and fourth grade Cool School students were given a WHALE of a lesson! The children learned that whales were endangered, and got to be outdoors to measure how long a blue whale actually is! They also got the chance to save their own whale! By donation and saving their pennies, students in both grades raised enough money to adopt two blue whales!
Students will get pictures of their whales, but want to know…where will we put them?
