Attention MVMS! This is your Student Council with a very important announcement. You have a great opportunity to help students in Zimbabwe achieve their academic dreams, just like what Caitlin did for Martin. Martin’s non profit organization, called Seeds of Africa, is building schools and paying for students to attend them in Zimbabwe. THEY need your help! We all know that education and Caitlin saved Martins life. Just one dollar and you could save someone’s, too. Of course, you don’t have to go to Zimbabwe to help kids there. One dollar donated buys a brick for the school. Give your money to your Panther time teacher. We will be running a fundraiser during the month of November for this organization. At the end of the month, we will see how many bricks each Panther Time has donated. The Panther Time with the most bricks donated will win a prize! How many people can actually say they helped build a school in Africa? Now, you can!
