Students from the university and the elementary school asked for $1 donations to answer President Bush’s call for American children to help Afghan children.
Neil Oakley, a 2000 ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ graduate and a physical education teacher at ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ Elementary, says the fund-raising effort offers his students an important lesson. “It shows our students, and students here at the university, that we can make a difference, even though it might seem small.”
Elizabeth Brown, a fifth-grade ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ Elementary student, says she hopes money collected on campus will help her peers in Afghanistan. “I hope we collect enough money to help the children of Afghanistan get food.”
