Minnekhada Middle School in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia
Dear Schools Demining Schools:
Hello! The students of Division Eleven (Heaven Eleven) have been busy!
We've researched the landmines issue, organized resources, written
speeches, and given 23 presentations locally (most to student and parent
groups). We have just decided what to put in our press kit, and are
going to blitz the media next week.
As for fundraising, we started by just collecting bottles and cans for
refunds. We brought in over 4000 cans so far (over $200), and have just
run a logo contest. The winning logo (Students Against Landmines) will
be printed on t-shirts that cost us $6. We will be charging $11 (of
course) and if we sell all 144, we will raise over $700. Together with
our bottle money, we would have paid to remove three landmines. If
others try the t-shirt idea, or other schools would like to trade us a
school shirt for one of our landmines shirts, we'd be thrilled. Please
post this message to anyone involved in the campaign, and we hope to
hear from schools who'd like to work together with us.
Thanks a bunch! Good News | Interactive | Links | The Crew |
