May 4, 2016 - Teacher's Appreciation Week!

Pay it Forward - Keely Burkhart and Susan Wezet

What happens when you give 5th grade students $3 each and ask them to create a project to raise money for a charity of their choice? Keely Burkhart and Susan Wezet challenged their students to "go make a difference in the world."

For National Pay It Forward Day, students presented their projects, which included a poster and an iMovie Trailer to promote their project.

These 5th grade students turned $129 into $2,824.75, 75 blessing bags and more than 45 canned food items.

The following iMovie is an example of their student's work.
