Kaitlin recently had an assignment at school titled- What would you do to make the world a better place? Our little animal lover decided that she wanted to do something for the endangered animals of the world. Armed with a shoe box labeled "endangered animal fund" her quest began. The box sat in the classroom at school after she gave a short presentation about it to both classes. It attracted quite a bit of attention and all the kids were excited to see the pennies and quarters add up. After a month we had a grand total of $50.20! Not bad for only 36 kids and 3 teachers! She did some research and decided on the World Wildlife Federation as the recipient. Now a Sea Otter and an Okapi have now been adopted by Kaitlin and Horizon School. She learned alot from the experience, and how one person can influence others and help change the world! We are so proud of her!

That's so cool! Way to get involved Katie! I do feel a bit silly though with the following question....What's an Okapi?
Good call Katie! You will also have to educate me on what an okapi is. I am very proud of your grassroots efforts and I can safely say that you take after your mom. She is after all the the catalyst for me becoming a Democrat and the reason that I protested the use of styrofoam in the lunchroom and was a peace activist for Halloween in 8th grade.
Way to go Katie, we are proud of you and your getting involved in our world. It's always good to help animals and help the planet.
