The Shoe Box Appeal

Introduction

On the 7th  of December,  Clarissa and Jillian (MYP 1 )   led a presentation in the lunchroom regarding the shoe box and why they are doing it. Later, we will also tell you what Clarissa said about it!

 

What is the shoe box:

The shoe box was an action taken by two girls of grade 7. Basically, you got a shoebox (a box where the shoes were placed) and you would need to write if the box is meant for boys or for girls. Underneath it, you would also need to write the age (of the child) the specific toy is meant for. If you are interested, you need to give it to Mr.Pearce. HOPE YOU DO IT, THE TEAM NEEDS HELP!    

 

What Clarissa says about the shoe box:

1. “We invented it because we want to help children that are not lucky like us and like this they find some Christmas presents under the tree on Christmas.”

2. “We invented it by searching for some organizations for children that need help. We wanted to help and make “happy faces”, especially since now there are the days of Christmas, and we believe everyone should be happy during these days.

3. “I would appreciate if everyone participated by doing a shoebox.“

 

To who are the shoe boxes sent?

This initiative is destined to an organization called Cometa. that helps boys and girls of different ages that have problems in their family.

 

Did we take action?

We actually liked this idea, so we wanted to help. We are going to do a shoe box and put in some presents for those children that are not as privileged as we are. We are sure that these presents will make them have a happy face on Christmas day.
