See Louie the Laker come to Room 147 after the Awards assembly this morning.
Our classroom fund raiser!
Room 147 has pledged to spend the rest of this year donating their own money and
their parents money to raise funds for clean water in a 3rd world nation.
We realize times are tough here in our own neighborhood, but they want to help stop the
deaths of over 3 babies a minute, because they have to drink filthy water.
It started with this 3 minute video from Will Smith on Face Book.
I will post it below if you choose to view it. I hope it may change you, too!
.
Water Changes Everything.

I hope you spare 3 minutes to watch this!
I am so proud of them!
Within a week they have raised enough to send their first $20, this Friday!
We sent another $20 before school got out!
Happy

Change Starts with Us!

Thanks the remake of this thought provoking video for our web site.
This was created by Buddhika, from Sri Lanka. Some people talk about change,
others try to make it happen. Thanks again for your efforts to bring about that change!
We are proud to share this with the world.
Michael Jackson warned us what could happen to our planet back in 1995, if we do not change..
He uploaded this himself Oct 2, 2009 for the world to see for free!
EARTH SONG
Warning! This may contain images that will disturb some viewing it.
I included it because of his vision, years before many of us knew what was happening to our planet!
John Lennon wanted us to Imagine our planet a different way too!

There are three videos below from Louis Armstrong's
"What a Wonderful World!"
Do what you can starting today!
