Hartman
needs your help to save a Polar
Bear!
Our healthy schools I-Walk theme for January is called
“Polar Bear Walk” and
January is a great month to show respect for the environment, concern for
global warming and its threat to the polar bear population.
Students
are invited to bring a polar bear stuffed animal to school on Wednesdays all
month long! If you do not have a polar bear, students can bring any
stuffed animal or make their own polar bear. A photo mounted on
paper and taped to a pencil makes a handy polar bear to carry to school.
Great
news, last year Hartman proudly adopted five endangered animals like the
Meerkat, the Red Panda, the Arctic Fox, the Snowy Owl, the Snow Leopard and the
Polar Bear. Some grade six students have already decided that they want to sell
items again this year at recess for a "toonie" to help towards the
cause! That's awesome!
It costs about $50.00 to adopt one endangered
animal from the “World Wildlife Federation”. So let’s see how many animals we
can adopt!
The
class that collects the most money in donations will receive a FREE
GYM PERIOD courtesy of Mr. Edwards!
Whenever you go to
school, please walk or park and walk a block!
I Walk… Do You?
