Dance-A-Thon

Last month, Reagan's pre-school hosted a dance-a-thon to raise money for World Vision. Specifically, Regan raised money for preschoolers in Ethiopia. Ethiopia has among the highest under-five mortality rates in the world - 166 deaths under five years of age for every 1000 births. For the children that do survive, malnutrition and disease reek havoc with brain and body development.

Reagan's preschool has strongly enforced the phrase, "Give to a child and you change their life. Teach a child to give, and they will change the world."

Reagan raised over $325 towards this cause, and all of the Wind & Tide preschools involved together raised over $71,000!

The kids learned a valuable lesson, and they had a great time shaking their cute little booties all day long!

what a great thing to do! I love the kiddos getting a global view of children...especially to understand the idea that some kiddos were born into far different situations that ours.

Great job Reagan!
