The Countdown to Character Counts Day!!!!

Character Counts Day 2016 is almost here, less than two weeks away! The theme for this year will be "Character Counts: The Ultimate Gift!" We are very excited about our opening band and speaking group Attaboy. This group of talented young speakers and musicians travel the country presenting school assemblies to middle and high schools about being a person of Character! Checkout the video to the left, to get a sample of what we are going to be experiencing!

We will also be partnering with our local elementary schools to complete a lesson on giving by reading and doing activities around the book Boxes for Katje. We will read the book, discuss the lessons learned from the book, write letters to students in African Schools, and discuss what items we could send along with African Classroom Connection to enhance schools in Africa.

The other big activity of the day will be our Meal Packaging Event! We are getting closer to our goal of $10,000 total dollars needed to package 40,000 meals on April 8th. We have had many generous donations from individuals, businesses, civic groups, and foundations. We are still looking for additional donations to make this event a reality. Please consider donating on our Go Fund Me page https://www.gofundme.com/ecsykm8c or by sending a check to Webster City Middle School. The students in each homeroom at Webster City Middle School will be having a Change Drive to help raise the money needed to reach our goal. The contest will start on Monday, March 28th and end Friday, April 1st at noon. Students are encouraged to bring any spare change to their homeroom and deposit into their designated coin bucket. The winning homeroom in each grade will get VIP floor seating for the concert and speaker. The winning homeroom overall will get a private meet and greet with the band following the performance.
