The seventh grade SLAM group at Alexander Dawson School Colorado USA has been doing numerous things this year. The first step for us was to make a power point presentation that we would present to the Lower School (Kindergarten to Fourth grade), the fifth and sixth grade, and finally the seventh and eighth grade. The power point’s purpose was to educate and raise awareness about Malaria and also to notify people about the fundraising we would be doing. The power point had a big impact on the grades we presented it to especially the younger children, who could not believe some of the facts and statistics we were presenting to them.
Once the power point presentations were done we started a coin drive. A fundraising activity where different grades bring in coins and dollar bills to raise money for mosquito nets. The coin drive was run from Kindergarten to the Eighth grade. In the end whichever grade raised the most money won a pizza party. Except for the sixth grade they were so excited by the SLAM project that they decided to donate the money from their pizza party back into the coin drive! All together we raised a total of 957 dollars. This money will be used to buy mosquito nets for the families in Botswana.
We all look forward to working on this project more with you all in the future.
Sincerely, Riley and Anika
