Who are the Club Hope kids????


Who are the Club Hope kids? Why do they join a club where all the work they do profits someone else? On Friday, we had indoor recess because of the cold weather. I had recess duty and as I walked into 2 of the classrooms I was met with green Club Hope t-shirts and smiling faces. The smiling faces tell the story - these are amazing kids who really DO want to make the world better. Most of the club members had gone out on Thursday to talk with the kids in the other grades. They talked about our project, "Hearts for Africa" and they told the other students about our upcoming Bake Sale. Cassidy and Niklas spoke at Antler Alert to remind the students about our projects. Take another look at the smiling faces in these pictures - these are Club Hope kids!

Bake Sale Coming, Friday, April 3rd!!!

Club Hope at Prairie Vale / O Ambassadors will be
having a GIANT Bake Sale on Friday, April 3rd. We will be open for business before and after school AND after Antler Alert. ALL proceeds will go to the O Ambassadors programs in Kenya.

"Hearts for Africa" Project Starts This Week!!

This week, Club Hope at Prairie Vale members will visit the younger grades to talk to them about why we are fundraising at Prairie Vale. We have been learning about the living conditions for children in Kenya, and we know we can make a difference.

"Hearts for Africa" is a way for every family at Prairie Vale to show that they truly do have compassionate hearts. For the small price of $1 - you and your family can decorate the spring heart in the picture, sign your family's name and send it back to school. At PV, we will have a whole wall of these hearts to show that, as a school, we do have "Hearts for Africa.

"Keep On Being the Change"!!!

We received a lovely note today from our O Ambassadors' contact person at "Free the Children". Jonah Kanter thanked us for our donation from our "Hours for Africa" Project and he tells us to "Keep on Being the Change"!!

"Hours for Africa" Project Grand Total = $458.50 !!!

Clup Hope / O Ambassadors members earned $458.50 for our friends in Kenya!! Tyler, Aaron, James, Paige, Ahvonnah, Taylor, and Carley recently turned in their donations. Some of the things they did to earn their money were: cleaning house for mom; working outside with dad; helping move bricks; and walking dogs. Club members did a great job of giving of their time. We are now in the process of learning more about the living conditions in Kenya and we will be putting together our presentations for when we get back from Spring Break.
