This past fall, the 5th grade students at Centennial Avenue Elementary School completed a unit of study revolving around human rights. To enhance their learning on this topic and to actively participate in the process of being global citizens, they became involved with UNICEF, an organization that works to give children healthier lives and brighter futures.

Under the leadership of 5th grade teacher, Mrs. Nancy Ticali, NBCT and other teachers on the 5th grade team with support from the building principals and parents, they were able to participate in Trick or Treat for UNICEF. Representatives from the classes distributed orange collection boxes to all of the students in the school. Students used these boxes on Halloween to collect funds for UNICEF. The students were then involved in the process of counting the money and donating it to UNICEF.

The fifth grade students collected a little over $1,000.00 to provide children around the world with medicine, nutrition, clean water, emergency relief and education. The children were excited about being part of a project where “kids help kids” and where their “change can help change the world”!
