Cedar Park collects $2,000 for ducks, drinking water
The 300-student Cedar Park Christian School Everett campus recently raised more than $2,000 to help an indigenous group of people in Papua New Guinea raise ducks for food and establish a new drinking-water system.
In all, nearly 200 pounds of coins were collected in the Bucks for Ducks weeklong coin drive. Students in the school’s National Honor Society started with the goal of $30 to provide a few ducks that would provide eggs to supplement the Papua New Guinean community’s diet – then went further, noting the community also lacked a consistent source of clean drinking water.
Classes competed to raise the most money. Mr. Cornelissen’s fifth-grade class celebrated their victory with a doughnut party. The class won in a sneak attack by turning in most of their money at the last moment. They collected $370.92 – mostly pennies.
