In lieu of teacher gifts please consider donating to The Georgie Badiel Foundation.  The book The Water Princess is inspired by Georgie and reveals the clean water crisis in Burkina Faso. The Loons worked closely with Georgie last year and in January as a class we will also be helping this cause. We will share more information after the holidays. Thank you! :) Lindsay
