WOWS Sponsors Trick or Treat for UNICEF
This month, Magnet's Women on the Way to Success (WOWS) is sponsoring Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF, the United Nations Children’s Fund, which supports children with better health care, nutrition, safe water, and education. In Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF, students will be asked to bring spare change to put in trick-or-treat change boxes according to their grade level in the front office or Mrs. Jones’ room.
The grade level that raises the most money will receive a breakfast goodie. Donations can be made until November 5th. Donations can also be made online. If any students want to get their family and community community involved by Trick or Treating to raise money, the links for each grade level are below. Happy trick-or-treating!
