W.I.T. Bracelets...
A big round of applause for the 100+ WitKids that are sporting the blue bracelet! You are carrying the WHATEVER IT TAKES! message far and wide. You should be so proud of yourselves! All of you are making a difference in your school, community, and the world. Go WitKids! (the pic is of some B-5 students showing you their W.I.T. bracelets)
Lemonade for Sale...
Room 5 students hung their fabulous posters around the school last week and are getting ready for their first sale on Thursday! Mrs. Hanssen deserves a big "Shout Out" because she has managed to get 4 grade levels involved in this project. Each student has an important job and they are excited to start selling!!!
WitKids Around the Country...
Soon we will be starting WitKid groups in different parts of the country. These groups will be run by my previous students. So far Virginia, Colorado, and Florida are all possible places. If you'd like to run a WitKid group, email me and let me know.
On Our Way...
Steps are being taken to register WHATEVER IT TAKES! as a non-profit organization. This is an exciting process and when it is completed it will be a dream come true!! We are doing WHATEVER IT TAKES to make it happen. Stay tuned...
Tune In...
The video blogs are much cooler now that kids are in them! I think you'll like watching them. You can find this week's here. I know the sound quality is a bit off, but the boys are just so great...I had to post it! Next week there will be more kids making videos and sharing how they are doing W.I.T..
New York City...
In less than two weeks I will be heading to NYC to do a couple volunteer projects and catch up with W.I.T. fans. It's exciting to see the W.I.T. message reaching all the way to the east coast!
I'm so proud of all you WitKids and am grateful for all the WitFans. (WitFans are the adults out there wearing the W.I.T. bracelet and doing W.I.T..) Thank you for believing in the message...and the kids. We couldn't do it without you!
Keep on doing W.I.T.,
Miss Hernholm

ReplyDeleteThis is such an exciting blog site, and the projects you are engaged in sound wonderful! The students at our school have been raising funds for Pennies for Peace to help Greg Mortenson build schools in Afghanistan and Pakistan and funds for a project our Upper School calls H20 with Love--building a well for a village in Kenya. I love how you have created a community service program and are using technology to communicate about the activities.
ReplyDeleteThis is very inspiring!!!
