(Students singing) We are the Change.......We are the Change.........We are the Change.........We are the Change
And as you know if we collected 10 penny bags, Mr Coursey and Mr Van Maanen agreed to dress up for the day
Well not only did we collect 10 penny bags, we collected 676 bags in total.
INTRODUCING.......THE INCREDIBLES!!!!
It didn't start with Gary and I, but when they got well over 10 bags we had to up the ante a little bit
and so once we got there then Gary agreed to be part of it as well.
We started in October and we were going until the end of November
We had set the Courage assembly as the end point because we wanted to recognize kids at that time
for their courage and the fact that they kept going and never gave up.
I think we really wanted to reach our goal and I think we wanted to help people in Africa
and we wanted to get as many penny bags as we could and we wanted our classes to have a lot of penny bags.
People just really wanted to help people in Africa.
They wanted everyone to have access to clean water and they didn't think it was fair for people to have dirty water.
I think the Me to We group did a good job of communicating to the whole school
about what their goal was and where they wanted to go. And they kept saying
as we kept surpassing goals, keep going guys and they really motivated the kids
as well as , I think the fact that they knew that we were going to be dressing up and I think that was another motivation.
To get it to the people that we are trying to help and get them the support that they need,
because you know the one bag does a kid for a life or another person
so you know they made a difference in a lot of peoples lives with their work.
We wanted to help as many people as we could instead of just ten people.
So now we've helped 66 people instead of 10.

Congratulations to everyone who brought in pennies to help be the change.
Together we raised....drum roll please.
One thousand six hundred and fifty dollars.
