The first CJSF service event of the year for both seventh and eighth graders was the Polar Bear International Charity Fundraiser. It was held in Mrs. Kracker’s room (room 1303) at snack time on February 27, 2024, also known as International Polar Bear Day. “I have never in the 25 years that I have been teaching here seen a charity for polar bears, so I thought it would be something different and cool,” explains Mrs. Kracker, one of the CJSF advisors. Many CJSF members attended this event in order to get their yellow service card signed by Mrs. Kracker, Ms. Avery, and CJSF officers. As an additional bonus, people who came to this event obtained two polar bear themed stickers and one polar bear figurine for just five dollars. All of the money earned through this event would go to the Polar Bear International Charity, which “takes the funds that we provide or people donate, and they use it to help polar bears survive! They focus on helping the polar bear thrive and to live,” says Mrs. Kracker. It was a happy day for many CJSF members, because they finally got their first event (out of three) down.
