Natalie Wood, the Food Drive Speaker sent the following email,
Hello,
I hope you are doing well! I wanted to let you know that your students donated 2,767 pounds of food during the food drive! We are so thankful for your generous support over the years. With this food, we will be able to stock several pantries’ shelves with food before the holidays.
Yesterday I had the privilege of giving a tour to a group of Casady 4th graders. They were extremely well-behaved and asked wonderful questions. You have such a great group of students enrolled in Casady Schools.
Thank you for all you do to fight hunger in the state!

2. Mr. Moore's Global Pedagogy Instruction (GPI): Aurian K. is the ambassador of this project at Casady School. This project provides musical instrument instruction to children of poverty in Haiti.
Their first trip to Haiti demonstrated that the commitment to kids in poverty to learn musical instruments is strong. Their desire to learn is met with the obstacle of not having instruments or instructors. GPI is an emerging organization that is developing collaborations with The Road to Hope, Richard Harris from the Denver, Harris Law Firm, founder. Colorado Academy sent students to Haiti already. GPI is also talking to Global Students Health and Cura for the World as part of their initiative to obtain funding by providing data to the research of the health effect of music and music education on children of poverty.
