M1 Holds Bake Sale to Save Sea Life

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (May 29, 2025) – One of Meredith School’s fourth grade classes, M1, held a bake sale in support of the World Wildlife Fund, an organization that protects animals and helps stop ocean pollution. They raised $456.40.  

“I am so proud of M1. They worked hard to plan, advertise, and work at our bake sale,” said the M1 teacher Mx. Tartaro. M1 decided how they wanted to make a change and picked an organization to donate to. They also wrote PSAs to get others involved and presented to other students in the school. They set up tables, made signs and wrote chalk messages in the school yard.  The students were also cashiers at the sale. M1 felt really good about the sale. “I think that the bake sale was a pretty fun thing to set up and clean up,” said Alani, a student in M1.  “We worked really hard and I think we did pretty good, because at one point we had like 80 people at the stand,” said Shane, another M1 student.  

 

In fourth grade, students have been learning about how different people in history made a change. They learned about the Women’s Suffrage movement and people who fought for Women’s rights. They also learned about Kid President, who believed that other kids in the world could make a difference, and Kayla Abramowitz who noticed a problem with the lack of entertainment at hospitals for kids and solved it by collecting and donating DVDs to hospitals around the US. This sparked an idea in the M1 students to hold a bake sale to try to stop pollution. 

 

The students in M1 wanted to stop pollution so that people could have safer drinking water and so that animals stay safe. “We care deeply about saving the sea turtles and other underwater wildlife,” said Waverly, an M1 student. Brad, another M1 student, agreed, adding “We were pretty successful and we will save a lot of animals.”
