The Grade 3/4 class has been talking
about social justice issues in their class
with Mrs. Ries over the past few weeks.
In response to all of the things they
have been discussing, the class has
run two fundraisers recently as a way
to help out some social causes.
On the same topic, they had Lynn
Cole from
Brownfield
“
come in to talk
about a recent
trip she took to
Uganda.
She explained
to the class what
she encountered
and how life is

Puppy” on Feb. 11. The Grade 3/4s
invited all Theresetta students to visit
their classroom at lunch one day to
visit seven friendly, cuddly puppies,
loaned to the class by the
Zimmermann family.
Students donated food bank items in
order to get their turn with the soft,
soothing pups.
Proceeds from
that fundraiser,
which included
multiple backpacks
full of food
and $92.30 in
donation, went
directly to the
Castor Food
Bank.
The 3/4 class
toted the donations
down to the
Food Bank on
Feb. 27 and
learned from Sue Goodkey all about
the service it provides to the
community.
The second fundraiser was held on
Feb. 28, and it was called, “Pet the
Kittens” who were loaned to the class
by the Boxma family.
The class asked for monetary donations
