Students in Mrs. Leslee Eskola’s 4th grade class at Magnet Cove Elementary participated in the Heifer International Read to Feed program. Students worked to get sponsors to donate money for the time that they spent reading. Students learned about people living in other countries that are less fortunate. Various animals were researched to determine what animal would be most beneficial to a family in need somewhere in the world. After collecting all of the class donations, students raised a staggering $390 for the program. The class was able to purchase a water buffalo, a goat, and a flock of chickens for Heifer International. Students were able to see goats and chickens first hand when Scott Smith volunteered to drop by the class with his animals. The program was completed as a service learning project with Ms. Shannon Eubanks, an intern from OBU. |
