The Compassion Project

As part of our Social Studies Program and our Religion Program, we have been using some of the resources provided by the Compassion Project.  Click on the following link to see what the project is all about.  Your child brought home a note about this project and a field trip opportunity we will be a part of.

We have been watching the videos provided to learn about how the people in Uganda live.  Click on the link below to meet one of the families we are 'following' to get a glimpse of their life.  There are many other videos if you search 'step into my shoes videos'.

Meet the Family

The students worked hard in February selling Candy Grams at SJV and some of their fundraising money is still left.  We would like to be able to make a donation of some sort after experiencing the field trip, becoming aware of the needs in Uganda.  Since the field trip is not costing us anything, and the school is paying for the busing, we are asking each student to bring in a small donation that could be used to make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate.  The students have looked at this 'catalog' in the classroom and you are welcome to take a look with your child at home.
