UNICEF
The 8th graders are participating in the worldwide campaign for UNICEF as a community service project. The students will Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF in their own neighborhoods tonight.
2007 marks UNICEF's 57th year of sending much needed food, immunizations, water and other resources to children all over the world. Please join this effort by putting a donation in one of the famous orange boxes. The boxes will be located at the Deaf Wildcat Mall, in the front office and on Team 6/7/8.
We will accept your donations until Tuesday, November 6th. We are teaching our students that they can make a difference around the world by helping others. Thank you for your support.

(We can accept cash, checks, money orders and Coinstar receipts. Please make checks payable to US Fund for UNICEF.)
