The student leadership team will be collecting loose change all week to donate to the rainforest.
We will be collecting donations throughout spirit week. Donations will be tabulated by grade level. Our fundraising goal during Spirit Week is $1000. One of Rainforest Trust’s current projects is to protect rainforests in Liberia. Every $2.32 raised will protect one acre. If we raise $1000 we can help protect over 430 acres. We are asking each student to raid their piggy bank or a family change jar in order to donate $1 to $3 dollars. If each student donates $2, we will easily reach our goal.
1. Spirit Week gives us a chance to come together as a school with the goal of supporting a group/organization in need of assistance. This helps our students to internalize the essential lessons learned from community service. Our Student Leadership Team, with the guidance of Bob Gross, Student Leadership advisor, chooses the recipient for this fundraiser. This year they have chosen the Rainforest Trust.

OUR APPROACH
Rainforest Trust purchases and protects the most threatened tropical forests, saving endangered wildlife through partnerships and community engagement. Through these highly effective partnerships, we can ensure sustainable results necessary for the long-term protection of tropical ecosystems and the wildlife they hold.
HOW WE DO IT
Our unique, cost-effective conservation model for protecting endangered species has been implemented successfully for over 30 years. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, the expertise of our partners and the participation of local communities across the tropics, our reserves are exemplary models of international conservation.
