Trick – or – Treat for UNICEF
Key Club will be holding its annual Trick – or – Treat for UNICEF from Tuesday Oct. 22th through Thursday Nov. 7th. This is a fundraiser powered by students, teachers, parents and communities to make the world a better place for children. Since 2012 Key Clubs have been raising money for The Eliminate Project, aiming to help eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus. Tetanus kills one baby every 15 minutes – but it doesn’t have to be this way. Your donation can help provide a series of three vaccine doses to protect a woman and her future newborns. Together we can end this needless disease.
Trick – or – Treat for UNICEF boxes will be available in classrooms for you to donate money to support this worthy drive. Extra UNICEF boxes will be available for students to take Trick-or-Treating on Halloween, Thursday, October 31st and can be picked up in the Media Center. Students should return these boxes to Ms. Friend on November 1st.
Our goal is for West Shore to raise $500.00 or more.
Thank you for your generosity!!!
