Mrs. Gomel’s 7th Grade Advisory has HEART!
They’ve chosen a community service project that is two-fold. First they want to help save the earth by recycling aluminum cans. Then with the funds earned from recycling they want to donate that money to Alzheimer’s research for a cure. Many of us, in this small advisory class, have a family member or a friend that suffers from this terrible disease. Alzheimer’s research is one of the least supported causes and yet this disease is a fast growing concern. We have to do something!
Here are options in which you can help us:
1. By collecting and recycling aluminum cans and donating the money to our advisory group so that we can give it to Alzheimer’s research.
2. Send in your bags of cans to Mrs. Gomel.
3. Contact Mrs. Gomel so she can make arrangements to come pick up your cans. You can email her at jgomel@elsberry.k12.mo.us or call her at school (573) 898-5554 x 247
We will collect cans all school year. At the end of the school year she may organize a field trip to take her advisory group and all of the cans collected on a bus to the recycling center. The kids will enjoy seeing the process of recycling, receiving a check and forwarding that on to do good for Alzheimer’s research. We will give ALL the money we earn from recycling and donate it to the Fisher Center for Alzheimer’s Research Foundation. You can learn more about them at www.alzinfo.org.
Take HEART and help us make a difference for our planet and our community and beyond!
