Action of the Week

Health

Can Collection: Raise awareness about malnutrition in your classroom by collecting cans for the food bank with your students.

Past Actions

Poverty

School Supplies: With your students, put together a package of colorful school supplies for another classroom in need in your town. New crayons, markers and other goodies will help you spread community spirit.

Education

Be a Mentor: This week, take a bit of extra time for a student who seems to be struggling. These small acts of kindness have lasting impacts you can only imagine.

Health

Malaria Awareness: Malaria is one of the leading causes of death for children in developing countries, but most people don’t know much about it. Have your students research causes of malaria, then lead a class discussion about the issue and potential solutions.

Sustainable Development

Save Water: This week, conserve water and energy by taking a shorter shower or turning off the tap when you brush your teeth. Educate your students about how they can do the same thing at home.
