May 14 - Evergreen Elementary Students Charity Talent Show !

Oprah’s Angel Network & Free the Children formed O Ambassadors- a program that inspires young people to become active, compassionate, & knowledgeable citizens. They called on great teachers like Janet Niethamer at Evergreen to apply & form clubs! Children for Change, is a group of Evergreen students who are making a difference in the world! Yes, kids can make a difference! They're hosting a Talent Show! The show will be Wednesday, May 14th 2008 at 6:30pm at Gateway High School’s Auditorium. You must come see talented Evergreen students sing, dance, jump, jam & play! Admission is $5. There may be a surprise guest star appearance! No confirmation as of the publication of this she's workin’ on it! See ya’ at the show!

The Ambassadors meet often to learn about poverty, education, health, & sustainable development. CfC’s job is to raise awareness of these challenges & raise money to help. The Ambassadors made posters on effects of poverty that were hung around the school to teach others. CfC raised $717 by having a bookmark sale in December & a Valentine Candy-Gram sale in February! They will sell freeze-pops the last week of April & in May, host a Talent Show! They are hopeful these events will raise a lot of money to help our assigned region, South Asia!
CfC has also helps local people in need! In January they held a food drive, which collected about 600 pounds of food for the Garden City Food Bank of Garden City United Methodist Church! At the end of March, they held a Clothing Collection! Bags and bags and bags kept pouring in for the Clothes Closet of Monroeville Community Church! Awesome!
I thank you, Evergreen families, for making your generous contributions! I thank you, Ms. Niethamer and the CfC Ambassadors, for your work and compassion!
