We Are Adopting A Polar Bear!!!

Dear Parents:

Our class is studying polar bears in Language Arts. The kids are learning a lot about how polar bears are becoming endgangered.

I am adopting a polar bear on behalf of our class through the World Wildlife Fund. However, there are kids wanting to bring in a small donation to help out with the adoption. I understand their feeling of wanting to help out so I am willing to let them bring in a loonie or toonie for the adoption. They are not to bring in more than a toonie.

If your child is sending in a donation to help with the adoption please send it in a ziploc bag with their name marked with the title "Polar Bear Adoption" before Dec. 18th.

The kids are very excited about the polar bear adoption. It is a great cause and I am so proud of how the kids want to do what they can to help the polar bears. The WWF will send momentos for the kids to keep to show that they helped save the polar bears.

Sincerely,

Miss. C Pickett
