Thank you for helping us launch this fun writing unit! Mrs. Cox Wheel Chair Foundation www.wheelchairfoundation.org/ Our school is raising money for the Wheelchair Foundation to help buy wheelchairs for the millions of people in our world who are immobile and are in need of a wheelchair. Each wheelchair costs $150. Last year, Walnut Grove raised enough money to buy 18 wheelchairs! This year, our class has already collected 20 dollars towards this cause. Students brainstormed ways to collect coins: Helping around the house/doing chores, selling something in the neighborhood, garage sale, asking for donations, etc. Please see the Wheel Chair Foundation Parent Letter for more information.
