For the past three weeks, Mrs. Wilson’s first grade class has been raising money for school supplies for the Change a Life Academy in Nairobi, Kenya. Change a Life Academy is a primary school for poor and orphaned children in one of the largest slums in Africa. The Guthrie first grade class started collecting money to help purchase classroom supplies and used the opportunity to learn about another culture and about being compassionate. First Grader, Jace Chisum, said, “I loved getting to raise the money to get school supplies for the students.”
In total, Mrs. Wilson’s class raised more than $190. Yesterday, the Guthrie first graders took a field trip to Lubbock, where they visited a Wells Fargo Bank to cash in all their donated coins for dollars and then went to Mardel’s to purchase the classroom supplies. At the Wells Fargo Bank, the employees were so impressed with the students’ enthusiasm and how much they raised, that they donated $40 themselves. The students were able to purchase eight sets of letter and number tiles, ten sets of polyhedra dice, and six sets of flashcards. When asked about the project, Mrs. Wilson said, “My students have such generous hearts, and they love the feeling they get when they help others.” In April, Mr. Wilson will be traveling to Kenya and will deliver the school supplies to Change a Life Academy. He will be in Kenya to lead a professional development seminar for the teachers and administrative staff at Change a Life Academy. Mr. Wilson’s junior high and high school technology students had also been collecting donations for Change a Life Academy and raised over $340. “The students in Guthrie have great hearts and didn’t hesitate to give what they could to help the school in Kenya,” Mr. Wilson commented. “It was a good opportunity for them to think about life outside of Guthrie, Texas and do something to make the world a little brighter for those less fortunate.” It is time for the seventh Book of the Month! This month, I choose Fantasy books. These are awesome adventure books that will take you to another world. Make sure you go by the library to pick up one of these books to read over Spring Break!

 Dedication is a great characteristic for people to have. It will come in handy when you go to school, when you have a job, when you start a family, and in many other instances. Whether it be in the ag shop or in the weight room, Graden Garrison always expresses an attitude of dedication. Born on November 27, 1996, to the parents of Kelly and Crystal Garrison, Graden has always persevered for his personal goals. One of his biggest goals is to attend welding school in Amarillo. In ag, which is Graden’s favorite class, he has furthered his interest in welding. Throughout school Graden has done several projects through the Ag department, like making several full sized trailers, grills, and much more. Graden’s favorite high school memory is playing high school sports. No matter what happens in life, remember that Guthrie wishes you the best!
