Hi everyone,
My class from Kaiapoi Borough School, North Canterbury, New Zealand, is currently involved in a competition to collect empty colgate toothpaste boxes and we are trying to recruit classes from all over the world to help us. We would love it if any classes/schools out there would like to take up the challenge and collect some empty boxes for us. We have already had teachers from New York, Florida, and NSW Australia express interest, which is fantastic!
The competition been a fantastic learning experience for my kids and we have managed to integrate maths, literacy, and geography as well as learning all about marketing and advertising. They are a very resilient and deserving bunch from a school that was hit hard by the Christchurch earthquakes last year, and we are hoping to win $12,500 worth of sports gear to replenish our P.E sheds in a tough financial year, which has seen our school roll drop to the lowest it's ever been.
After discussion with the class we have decided to set our sights high. We have created an edmodo group to show our progress in the competition, and we now have the goal of trying to get one class from every state in America to join and help us with our collection. We are also keen to get as many classes/schools from as many countries as possible onboard so if you are interested please let us know! It's is a very worthy cause and won't cost you any money, we are happy to pay shipping costs to New Zealand.
All classes that help us out will be able to collaborate with our students and will receive tokens of our gratification for their efforts. So if you're keen or know people who might be able to help out, reply underneath or pass on the message and I can let you know all of the details. It's amazing what a little school in New Zealand can do with the help of others.
Look forward to hearing from you,
