Westview Elementary
The students of Westview Elementary have been
busy! In the past week they have collected over 190,000
aluminum cans! A local facility will then recycle the
cans, and the proceeds will be donated to Riley Hospital
for Children. Last year, Westview Elementary donated
$3,783.97 to Kids Caring and Sharing.
Kids Caring and Sharing for Riley Hospital is a
fundraising effort that encourages students to give to
other children without expecting anything in return.
The Riley Children’s Foundation believes “that children
who give to others at an early age will continue to be
philanthropists throughout their lives”.
Mrs. Swartz’s fifth grade class won the contest this
year by bringing in 35,103 cans; an average of 1,350
