Students at Robert J. Burch Elementary School participated in a coin drive to help show their Burch Value of kindness. Burch students and teachers set a goal of raising $500 to help impoverished families in third-world countries through World Vision. Fourth grade teacher, Cori Davis, brought the idea to Burch and students embraced the philosophy of "Burch Bears Care" raising $675 for the World Vision fundraiser. With the funds raised in Burch's "Spirit of Christmas" coin drive, they will help nine families by providing 6 goats and 18 chickens to families in need. This World Vision project allowed Burch students to see how coins, heart and purpose all came together to make a difference. The holiday season is a great time to remind students of the Burch value of kindness.
