Thank you, Lower School families, for your generosity and for supporting your children as they learn about philanthropy through the Spark Change program. We collected an incredible $5,632.74 in 2017! Now that our collection is complete, our Spark Change Agents will research and interview local organizations in January and February to determine how to award grants using the money. We have selected two causes to support: children and natural disaster relief.

Our top collectors in Lower School, Ms. Williams’ class, will participate in a Service Learning project in the spring using a portion of the money that was collected. After our Spark Change Agents research and interview organizations, we will decide on the project. For example, last year Mr. Johnson’s class filled backpacks with school supplies for children.
Total Collection: $5,632.74
Top Class Overall: Ms. Williams (4) with $1,396.31
