Polar Bear walk - next week

Polar Bear Walk

Walk to Protect Arctic Wildlife with the World Wildlife Foundation (WWF)

Every year, polar bears in Hudson Bay walk up to 5,000 kilometres across Arctic sea ice in search for food to raise their cubs. But the sea ice on which they depend is changing, and in some cases disappearing altogether. (WWF - 2019)

Fundraising to Adopt a Polar Bear

Students will reduce greenhouse gasses by walking more. You can support your child in their efforts to be positive citizens of the environment by helping them raise money to donate to ‘Adopt a Polar Bear’ through the WWF.

Grade 1 and 2 students at CJP are concerned for the animals of the arctic. On February 27, National Polar Bear Day, students will symbolically walk with the polar bears.

Suggested Ways to Donate Money Donate a small amount of money (For example, .25 cents) each time your child offers to drive less. Tally the total amount and send in your donation to your child’s teacher by Thursday, March 21.

Encourage them to: ● walk/bike instead of drive  ● park a block or two from your destination and walk the rest of the way
