Easter Seals |
|
|
Each Spring the kindergarten
students at Mountain City Elementary raise money for
Easter Seals. Prior to the fund raiser teachers educate
students about physical disabilities that others may have.
Students are taught to focus on abilities people have
instead of the disability. |

Students ask
their parents, family, and friends to donate one cent,
five cent, etc. for each hop they can do. A set donation
is fine too. Many volunteers help teachers count the
number of hops in an event called Hop-n-ing. The students
dress with bunny ears and furry tails. They hop until they
are too tired to hop again. Last Spring our school was
listed in the top ten money raisers in Tennessee. |
| The Mountain
City Radio Station gave a live broadcast of the Hop-n-ing
event. This helped people in our community become more
aware of what Easter Seals is all about.
Easter Seals provides a wide
variety of services that go a long way in making a better
life for both children with physical disabilities and
their families. Services include financial assistance,
training, camps and respite care, independence and life
skills.
