[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Authored by Clare Ward<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our Grade 2\u20133 class recently showed wonderful collaboration, communication and leadership skills through a successful fundraising event in support of the Masoala Rainforest project at Zurich Zoo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The project began with an exciting obstacle course experience designed and organised by the students for younger children from Kiga 1, Grade 1 and Grade 2. As the younger students moved through the course, they learned about endangered animals, the challenges these animals face, and the importance of protecting natural habitats.<\/p>\n

The Grade 2\u20133 students acted as guides and educators, confidently sharing facts and answering questions while using their growing communication skills.<\/p>\n

A Student-Led Fundraiser for Endangered Animals<\/h3>\n

Building on this learning, the class then planned and hosted a vibrant fundraising event with a tombola, an information station and a bake sale. The students took ownership of the project, working together to organise the activities, decorate the space and welcome visitors. Many also showed initiative by taking on leadership roles and helping to coordinate different parts of the event.<\/p>\n

Creativity could be seen everywhere. Some children brought animal-themed stuffed toys from home to decorate the tables, creating an engaging and colourful atmosphere. Others carefully designed displays and prepared information to teach visitors about endangered animals and why conservation matters.<\/p>\n

Most importantly, the event reflected the students\u2019 compassion and sense of responsibility towards the environment and wildlife. Through teamwork, problem-solving and excellent communication, the class successfully raised an impressive CHF 150, which will be donated to support conservation work connected to the Masoala Rainforest at Zurich Zoo.<\/p>\n

We are incredibly proud of our Grade 2\u20133 students for showing such empathy, creativity and collaboration while making a positive difference for endangered animals.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
