SOMERSWORTH—
Children at the I Can Be Me Preschool & Childcare, Inc. program, Route 108 in Somersworth, wanted to do something to give back to the community during the NAEYC’s (National Association for the Education of Young Children) Week of the Young Child April 11 – 17, 2010. So on April 12th, the children participated in a Hop-A-Thon fundraiser to raise money for the N.H. Chapter of the Muscular Dystrophy Association to help children, like themselves, but who have muscle weakness.
The MDA Hop-A-Thon combined fun activities and disability awareness teaching that “everybody’s different, nobody’s perfect.” Children raised pledges and collected donations based on how many hops they could complete in a two-minute time period.
Logan C. was the Top Hopper with 291 hops and Elisabeth G. was the top donation raiser.
I Can Be Me Director, Janice Silver, would like to thank the children, their families, friends, and community members who participated and pledged or donated to help Jerry’s kids.
