Sisters at c’usqunela elementary were so upset after seeing injured animals from the Australian wildfires that they started a campaign to help them.
Noami and Jaylynn Van de Polder, Grades 5 and 7, called their fundraiser Love Australia and raised $1,500 to support both the communities and animals impacted by the fires.
They held the school’s very first bake sale with the student leadership group over two days in February.
