Room 10 had a problem. They had a problem with people being cruel to animals. Room 10 is a class full of animal lovers.
We know we cannot solve all the world's problems, yet, but our goal is to make them better than before.
Olive found a newspaper article about hosting a cupcake day to help fight animal cruelty. It's called, SPCA Cupcake Day!
We talked about it as a class and we had 100% buy in! Our cupcake mission was on! We asked that each of us commit to baking at least 6 cupcakes, slices or fruit kebabs. And we did. We did a lot more than that!
We advertised and made posters. Our parents all helped us. It was a team effort. Andrea also baked a lot of mini cupcakes!
Our day was a success. The students of Grey Lynn school all remembered their gold coins and some even gave us extra donations.
We were able to raise $460.00 to help fight animal cruelty. We know there will be a lot of happier and more loved animals now that they have our money too.
This shows us that we can make a difference. Every little action helps. Every voice needs to be heard. Today, we spoke for the animals.

Well done Rm 10, and of course the Wonderful Andrea. The animals will be so grateful for such a successful cupcake stall!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great cause and so good to see you got such good support. Well done room 10.
ReplyDeleteWow, what an incredible result, well done room 10! The money you've raised will help feed and provide shelter to a lot of animals to help keep them warm and happy until they find their forever homes. It was an amazing team effort, well done, I hope you're proud of yourselves!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Rm 10, on being compassionate, caring and thoughtful about animals. I like your thinking there. Compassion is one of the greatest virtues. Cakes are great too.
