Student Ambassador

We received a letter in the mail back in December.  Olivia was being invited to interview for a student ambassador position with People to People.  We thought we'd look into it and attended a meeting at Wyoming High School to find out more information.  We were all interested enough to allow Livvi to interview for the position.  Well, that is all it took and she was chosen to be a People to People Student Ambassador to visit the great state of Alaska at the end of July for 11 days with 39 other 5th and 6th graders from the area.

She has a few more meetings, assignments, and at least one service project that need completing.  The biggest hurdle will be coming up with the $5000 for the trip.  Liv's martial arts school gave us a great fundraising idea.  It sounded like a unique and fun way to raise some money for the trip.

On March 23 from 11:00 a.m., there will be a BREAK-A-THON!  You can sponsor Livvi and can donate money per board she breaks in 30 minutes or just a total donation.  Or, if preferred, you can break boards yourself!  Each board would be $5.  If you buy 5 boards, you get a 6th one free.

If you would like to donate, you can send us a check or click the donate button below.  All donations given will be used toward Livvi's trip.  We are so thankful for your help!
