My kids have loooooved collecting coins for Nickels for Nets. They’ve faithfully carried their little boxes to gymnastics, church, grandparents and ballet. And when they don’t remember it, they are bummed!
We still have a few more church friends who said, “I’ll bring some next week!” but our total right now is…
{are you ready for this?}
{it’s pretty exciting…}
$79.66
Whaaat?!
That’s like 9 nets!
Our goal as 5, so to surpass it is amazing.
It’s been a good lesson for Lydia, especially. Counting up all the coins, trading nickels for dimes, dimes for quarters and sorting into dollars has been a math lesson in itself. But as she counts and sees, “Oh, $32. I could buy an American Girl doll dress with this. Or four kids could have mosquito nets.” it makes her think.
OK. So, here’s the deal. I want to add up how much money/nets we’ve collected this month. Like, WE! Like, all of us! That means you!
So, you’ve got two choices:
1. Post on your blog about your Monthly Mission experience. Then paste the permalink to your post on our Monthly Mission page‘s linky.
{Alternately, if you’re feeling froggy, you could link a photo from Flickr, a pin, instagram or even a tweet. There’s a few examples linked up over on the Monthly Mission page.}
2. Leave a comment that says, “We collected X amount!” or some other exciting thing like that.
I will be updating the total amount on the Monthly Mission page today and tomorrow. So, get your number in!
So, how did your kids like the Monthly Mission?
I’ll be announcing March’s Monthly Mission next Monday! (Yay for M’s!)
