Heath Extended Day is working on a wonderful activity called the FUNDRED. We hope to raise awareness about money sense, design, dollar bills, fundraising, New Orleans and lead contaminated soil.
Did you know that lead contaminated soil is a problem in many cities in the U.S. and is a condition that often significantly impacts the health of our children? Studies demonstrate that lead-poisoning can affect nearly every system in the body, compromising healthy brain development and leading to poor performance in the schools, attention deficit disorder and even juvenile delinquency. The good news is that there is a solution, and it is why we encourage you to participate in The Fundred Dollar Bill Project, a simple, fun and important project supporting a solution to lead-contaminated soil in New Orleans as a model for other cities across the United States with the same devastating problem.
Don’t miss out! In as little as 20 minutes you can create and donate a unique Fundred Dollar Bill artwork that will be picked up by a special armored truck and carried to Washington D.C. where a request will be made to our legislators for real change. Your creative contribution, along with 3,000,000 other individuals, will send a powerful message to Congress that we care about the health of future generations. This is a cool project, a great learning opportunity for all ages, with profound implications for the health of our planet and children.
To learn more about getting involved, visit the website: www.fundred.org and spread the word to your family, friends and colleagues!
We also encourage you to sit down and enjoy the Fundred activity that HEDP is working on with your child. Ask a HEDP teacher when your child's class will be participating in this wonderful opportunity to design, learn about money, support New Orleans and spead the news on lead contaminated soil.
