Red Nose Day held at UV Elementary School last week
NEW BERLIN- On Wednesday May 24, Unadilla Valley Elementary School participated in Red Nose Day in efforts to give back to the community.
Red Nose Day began in England in 1988 by a non-profit group, Comic Relief, as a way to raise money for disadvantaged children. The project was launched in the United States in 2015 with the same mission – to help children. ]The Red Nose, a goofy foam circle to be worn on one’s nose, is a kid-friendly prop which uses entertainment to raise awareness. In the United States, some of the examples which benefit from the fund-raising are Boys and Girls Clubs, food banks, housing assistance and educational programs.
At the Unadilla Valley Elementary School, Pre-K teacher Marilyn Newland and Kathy Prosking, a third grade teacher aid, decided that Red Nose Day should be introduced to the school. Helping others is a very important part of what the children are taught at school, Newland explained. We want to instill in them that there is more than self. Knowing there is a need for food all year long, not just at the holidays, Newland and Prosking decided that the Morning Program on May 24 would be a Red Nose Day and the students would be encouraged to collect food to donate to the Unadilla Valley Food Pantry in New Berlin.
The auditorium was full of children wearing their Red Noses. They came up to the stage by classroom and put their food donation on the stage.
By the end, the front of the stage was full of food donations. Jeanne Westcott, Coordinator of the Unadilla Valley Food Pantry thanked the children for their generosity. Mrs. Newland added how proud she was of the children.
The Unadilla Valley Food Pantry is an independent, community sponsored supplemental food source located at St. Andrew’s Church. It is supported by food and monetary donations from the local churches and community.
