The University of Toledo and Graytown Elementary (Benton-Carroll-Salem School District) have teamed up on a Make-A-Wish Foundation “Kids for Wish Kids” service project to benefit Jenna, a 17 year-old with leukemia. Kyle O’Neill (B.Ed. ’01, M.Ed. ’05) and his Graytown Elementary fifth graders are collaborating with Dr. Judy Lambert, Assistant Professor in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction, her ETPT 2020 students, honors students, and members of Kappa Delta Pi (KDP), the International Honor Society in Education. This is the second year that UT and Graytown have collaborated on a service project.

The elementary students have written persuasive letters to solicit donations to this year’s Make-A-Wish project. They also decorate collection bins, signs and posters as well as collect and track/chart their donations. The university students have edited the persuasive letters on a collaborative wiki website. Dr. Lambert has also visited Graytown to offer Mr. O’Neill’s students instruction on using spreadsheets to record and graph funds raised in the event.
