As part of her Passages project 9th Grader Megan Moore has been knitting teddy bears for the Charity Mother Bear.org 

Their aim is to send a hand knitted bear to each child who has been affected by the Aids/hiv virus. Each hand knitted bear is sent to the main collection point together with $3 dollars to pay for it to be delivered to it’s destination across the globe. (It’s “Bear fare”)

Megan is holding a Bake sale on Monday’s in February to help raise money to pay the “bear fare” for each of the bears she has made. So far she  has raised over $50 dollars enough to fund 17 bears bear fares. Thanks Everyone!  As she has already made  65 bears she’d love to raise more dollars!

So Cupcakes, Brownies and Cookies will be available to buy at Lunch time on  Monday the 22nd and Monday the 29th  of February  All  Just $1 each
