Carebears
We meet in P-5 at lunch, every Tuesday! Instagram: @macarebearsclub
In Carebears, we make and hand-deliver care packages to migrants and those at the US-Mexico Border.
During meetings we will discuss the border crisis with the help of guest speakers, plan and host a series of drives for supplies and backpacks, and fundraise for our border trip and care packages. Later into the year we will assemble care packages and drive down to the US-Mexico border with club members to distribute our supplies to Calexico Unified School District schools.
