Dear Friends,
Congratulations on completing your first month of school! It's hard to believe that it's already October. The leaves are changing colours, the temperature is decreasing, and the sweaters are coming out. The changing seasons are a reminder of how God upholds all of creation. May you continue to take comfort in His sovereignty as you navigate the joys and challenges of educating the next generation.
In this issue, we're focusing on this year's annual school campaign. You may recognize the name and theme from last year, but the projects have changed. We hope the following resources will help you and your students learn more about how washrooms and dormitories don't just keep a girl safe and healthy at school - they can be tools to change entire communities.
Blessings,
Laurie Koning
School Relationship Manager
SUPPORT GIRLS' EDUCATION THROUGH "THE EDUCATION FORMULA"
Last year, Canadian Christian schools raised $30,000 towards girls' dormitories in Zambia and on-site health support for girls in the Dominican Republic. This year we're continuing our support of girls' education by helping our partners in Zambia build washrooms and dormitories so that girls can have safe and healthy spaces to learn. Check out our video below!
One way in which you and your students can support the girls' education in Zambia is through fundraising, but we also need you to share the message! In this activity, students have an opportunity to learn about the need for girls' education and develop their own promotional materials to spread the word about EduDeo's campaign, The Education Formula.

CELEBRATE WORLD TOILET DAY
World Toilet Day is an official United Nations international observance day on November 19. Join others around the world to raise awareness about the importance universal access to sanitation. I've provided you with plenty of activity ideas for how to incorporate World Toilet Day into your classroom - whether you teach math, social studies or physical education - and encourage you to use these ideas to promote The Education Formula as well!
(Stay tuned for details about our social media challenge in which we'll ask you to share your thoughts about the importance of sanitation where many people do their best thinking. #squatthoughts)
