Lynchsters Mr. Lynch's 5th Grade Class 

Our class participated in the Holiday Bear Project, which is a charity that sponsors children who need a little holiday boost. We sponsored a brother and sister from Danbury whose family was having a difficult time and needed some help to provide gifts for their kids for the upcoming holidays.

To earn money for our shopping trip to Walmart, students did jobs around the house. Another thing we did was to use the iPad, laptops, and other computer devices to look up the names and phone numbers of local businesses. Students worked on scripts that we used to call businesses asking for their support for this charitable cause. We raised $530 and on November 30 we took a trip to Walmart in Avon (after school) and 20 students came along. We were able to purchase clothes, shoes, electronics, books, and other gifts for the two kids.
