Students Rebuild Healing Classrooms Challenge

Update: Thank you to the many students and staff who made 2, 311 pinwheels in 

response to the challenge!  In total $4, 611.00 was raised!

STUDENTS REBUILD HEALING CLASSROOMS CHALLENGE

F.J. B. is entered in the STUDENTS REBUILD HEALING

CLASSROOM CHALLENGE.  This is a social justice

outreach project through the International Rescue Committee and

the Global Nomads Group. This challenge is a creative call to action.

This is not a fundraising initiative but rather a gift of time which results

in the funding for displaced Syrian children. We are all aware of

the huge refugee crisis.  This outreach project is one way to respond

as a Caritas Community. The challenge involves the making of paper

pinwheels.

The Bezos Family Foundation will match each pinwheel made

with $2 - up to $400,000 to support the International

Rescue Committees's Healing Classrooms program.  

This challenge goes out to all in our Brennan Community.

I challenge all to make 2 pinwheels each.  It takes less than

10 minutes to make a pinwheel and it is a simple task that could yield

great results for those in need.

Classes challenge other classes.  Sports teams challenge other sports teams!

Administration and support staff challenge the teaching staff!

Which group/class can make the most pinwheels.  Remember if you

enter the challenge as a class/group, everyone in the group needs to make

at least one pinwheel.

Pinwheels will be displayed in the main hall.

Group sessions and instruction will be available - stay tuned!

Let's do this!!!

Now accepting donations of  gift wrap, card making paper colored photo

copy paper, small scissors, glue sticks, stickers and ribbon.

GO CARDS!
