Please Help Support Me for our Read-A-Thon
Our school's motto is "Live and Serve" and we have been implementingthe concept of Service Learning into our curriculum. After reading Three Cups of Tea,our juniors and their teacher , Kathy McHugh, decided to raise funds for theKilimanjaro English Nursery School, in the name of one of our wonderfulkindergarten teachers who passed away this summer.
Tthe juniors will be holdinga read-a-thon on December 17th . With the various winter holidays coming, I would appreciateit if readers of my blogcould sponsor me for $1. These funds will help support the school. I amhoping that your generosity will help teachers and students who areless fortunate
In Tanzania, children begin public schooling at the age of eight. TheKilimanjaro English Nursery School was formed by a local Tanzanian,Edward Lazaro, known by his community as ‘Teacher,’ to serve childrenfrom ages three to eight. Teacher created the school for severalpurposes. It is meant to give children a foundation of basic education before secondary school begins. Additionally,for older children whose families can not afford the $200 per yearassociated with the public schooling system, the Nursery providesstudents with basic language, math, and vocational skills. And, finally, the school offers a safe place for children, some of whom are orphans, to play and learn away from bad influences. At the moment, 240 children are registered at the school, which consists entirely of a small, one-room school house. The staff of four teachers receives no salary but room and board. TheNursery is a wonderful cause in desperate need of support. The fundswill be important in helping to buy land, materials, and supplies forexpanding the Nursery and to support the overall operation of theschool. One of our beloved retired kindergarten teachersand her husband will be visiting Kilimanjaro English Nursery Schoolwithin the year to help with curriculum development and planning.
