Today the Grade 4 representatives of the Student Council surveyed all the Grade 4s on a couple of questions. They wanted to know:
A. What charity would the Grade 4s like to support?
B. What fundraising activity should they use to raise money?
After a secret vote (heads down, hands up), the popular choices were a pet shelter charity and an ice cream sale to raise money.
There were a lot of choices provided for charities such as cancer, hospitals, homeless people, African missions and many more. Thinking of activities to raise money was more difficult. Most of them had to do with food sales.
Imagine if our school raised ONE MILLION DOLLARS for charity and we were able to spend it on anything we wanted, including charities. What would you like to see? Would you keep it all for the school or would you donate it all to charity? Maybe you could give half away and spend the other half on new equipment for the school?
What would you do?

In the survey some of the choices that I chose were: used toy sales,and book sales, also a bottle drive. Why did I choose that? I chose that so we as a school can donate to some charities.
ReplyDeleteSome of the charities I would like to donate to our British Columbia Forest Fires. I also would like to donate to vaccination Africa. There was one more I chose. That was Homeless shelters. Maybe we can raise enough for two!
If we as a school could raise more then $ 1 million then I would probably spend half on our playground and other things the school needs. For the other half I would give to people in need so charities like B.C. forest fires or cancer research and lots of others because a lot of other people deserve more.
I would not like to see new equipment in the school. I would just really like for over the summer to have renovations in the whole school even the playground. But we are spoiled. I would like for the teachers to have new supplies and a new desk and chair for them.

In the survey I voted to help with the BC forest fires and to raise money to build another playground. For the cancer vote I voted for kids with cancer.
ReplyDeleteI will take half and give the rest to charity. Like give some to the homeless people. Because I feel bad for them when there's a storm outside.
The new things we should get. Every kid in the school gets a Lamborghini and each kid gets a iPad or a iPhone 8. I would take the iPhone 8 because I need a new phone. My phone is cracked bad.

In the survey,I chose the shoe box for charity because I can get rid of all my shoe boxes and I chose bake sale for fundraising activity because I can learn to make sweet things.
ReplyDeleteI would split the money.I would give charity 500k and keep 500k.
I would buy comfortable chairs because it can calm people down and not hurt my back and I would also buy I-pads for the whole class so that no one gets bored during free-time. I also would buy some more bins/containers to hold more stuff in.

ReplyDeleteIf our school won one million dollars I would donate it to school.
I would like new playground for our school because I want a spray park.

In the survey I chose homeless people because it is really sad how some people don't have a home because everyone should have one.
ReplyDeleteIf I had one million dollars I would give half to homeless people and half to our school because I like being even.
I would buy the school new soft and smooth chairs for every one,their own iPad, new basketball nets and new art supplies.

In the survey I chose homeless people and pet shelters because I want to help people and animals because I always feel bad for them.
ReplyDeleteIf I had one million dollars, I would donate $5000 dollars for school.
I want the playground to be fixed because the kids and me will be happy.

In the survey I chose homeless people because I'm going to help people to go in their house.
ReplyDeleteWhen we win $1,000 000 we're going to give the homeless a half of $1,000 0000 to buy some food and anything they need.
When our school wins a $1,000 000, we're going buy new books to our school and the other school books to read.

In the survey I would choose the Freezie sale because I love the taste of Freezies.
ReplyDeleteIf the school had a million dollars I would like to buy a good slide because it would be taller and smoother.
-bluejay
In the survey I choose hospitals and candy grams.
ReplyDeleteIf the school gets 1 million dollars I would want to give 500,000 dollars to charity. I would want $500,000 to go to the school because we need nice seats and more like tables and a TV and some more rooms. I would like it if we had a pool in cool water. The school would be a better school.

I picked BC fires, the Stollery and I also picked Llama day for activities. It sounds kind of funny but it will be fun though I hope it will be fun but who knows???
ReplyDeleteI would do half to charity and the other to the school of the million dollars. In our school I would like chairs with cushions on the bottom and the back of the chair. That would be amazing.
Also it would be nice if all the students could have iPads. That would be nice and maybe some new basketball nets.

In the survey I chose bakery sale because I love muffins, cookies and bread products.
ReplyDeleteI would give 50 000 dollars to charity and keep half for our school.
I would get more and better chairs, automatic desks, a bigger slide for the play ground, more pencils, and bigger gyms.
~lorax77
My choice was Food Bank for charity and for fund raising it was NED. It's a yoyo thing. I chose these two because I like the food bank and I like food and for fund raising because I love playing with yoyos and I can just ask my mom if I can get one I would buy one.
ReplyDeleteI would give like just 1 thousand $$$ because I would love to see new things in this wonderful school. It could be better.
I would like a new and better playground with a water park and a roller coaster and maybe better dodge ball and iPad for every child and more electronics and better chairs. These chairs hurts and a machine for every kid, even a little kid.

ReplyDeleteIn our school we can just read a book and we can do a hot lunch.
~pinkrose
In the survey I chose ice cream. I chose pet shelter because lots of pets need like food and home. I chose ice cream because I eat some ice cream.
ReplyDeleteIf we won a million dollars I will donate half of it to the charity.
I would buy new equipment for school. I want a new playground because some of ours is old and I want a spray park.

I think that this is an entertaining blog post because I am on student council and I could tell you how it like to be on it.
ReplyDelete1. I really enjoy student council because I could share my opinions. I can also help the school and its students. Maybe giving out donation to someone else.
2. I could try to make this year better.
3.Since this is my last year at elementary school I could do something fun and exciting so I can remember the school for ever.
In my class we wanted to donate to the orphanage and the children's hospital. Some of the boys in my class wanted to give money to koala bears because they are cute, but I think that they meant that they wanted to give money to the zoo. I think that we picked cancer foundations. I said on my statement that we had already gave money to hospitals and children with cancer, but it is also important to help other children in need. It is very sad that we are not going to be giving out money to the orphanage because it would have been our first time to do something nice to children that are without parents. I do, however, have a great idea that allows us to do both. We could collect bottles and exchange the bottles for money at the bottle depot. Then the would give this money that we can spent to buy candy for candy grams or other things.
If we would somehow collect one million dollars, I would give the money to the orphanage but with one condition. The orphanage must give the million dollars to the hospital. That way, the orphanage would be able to get money from the government because they are donating to a charity. I just think that that is how it should go. I am alright with that.
