WE can fly JIYA to Ecuador!

Jiya Mehta, a former Fossil student and model global citizen, is embarking on a ME to WE trip to Ecuador this summer to help build schools for girls and to speak to aboriginal women about their experiences and lives.  Jiya presented at our last assembly telling our students about drawing her inspiration from her days here at Fossil Hill where she learned about global issues such as the inequitable treatment of women in some parts of the world.  She is dedicating herself to trying to make a difference and to be the voice of marginalized girls.  We have started a fundraising campaign to help Jiya raise money for her trip.  Students are being asked to bring a dollar, or 2 or 5 to help us reach our goal of $1000 to fly Jiya to Ecuador.  Donations are rewarded with a paper airplane which our students will decorate and post in our hallways leading to the world map at the front of the school.  We thank you for your support of our fundraiser - together WE can fly JIYA to Ecuador!
