UNICEF

Trick or Treat for UNICEF!


During the last week of October and the first week of November, the fourth grade girls are spearheading a drive for UNICEF, the United Nations Children's Fund.  For sixty years, there has been a Halloween tradition of kids helping other kids by raising money for food, medicine, clean drinking water, and education in support of children all over the world.  After Friday's assembly, each Lower School girl received a UNICEF box that she may try to fill in any way possible - raising funds, asking for participation, or donating allowance.  After November 4, the 4th grade girls will count the money and send the donation to UNICEF on behalf of the Bryn Mawr Lower School. This annual Halloween tradition has raised over 175 million dollars since 1950!  Our small donations can add up to make very positive changes in children's lives around the world.  For example, just $30.00 can provide vaccines for 100 children to protect them from contracting measles.  Thank you for your help in making the world a better place!
