How did we celebrate good Citizenship at Elizabeth Ide?
We adopted a Rainforest!
The response to the Adopt-A-Rainforest coin donation was tremendous! While collecting the coins over a 2-week period, WE RAISED $390.28 The students, parents, and teachers at Elizabeth Ide really contributed to raising the awareness about the importance of rainforests. Our donation will be used for a conservation project in either Belize, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Honduras, or Nicaragua. We have asked the Rainforest Alliance to allocate our donation to the neediest project. A big thank you to Mrs. Tran for organizing this fundraiser.
We learned how to respect animals in nature!
The second graders were treated to an Owl assembly hosted by the Willowbrook Wildlife Center in Glen Ellyn, donated by Mr. Hansen and organized by the PTO. Students learned how important owls are to the environment and many other fascinating facts.
Thank you for supporting our Character Counts program and Earth Day 2008!
