Taking Action – Making A Difference
The Coulee Kids took on the challenge of becoming positive, contributing global citizens when they decided to raise money for Pennies For Peace. Our class went to see the author of THREE CUPS OF TEA, Greg Mortenson, and we heard how his organization was making a difference for children in Afghanistan and Pakistan by building schools and equipping them with educational supplies. In the process, we studied current news topics of the Greater Middle East and learned that children who are educated about health issues reduce their chances of disease, and kids who can read and write are less likely to become involved in terrorist activities. We wrote, sang, and produced these songs so that we could impact other kids’ lives and make a difference in the world we share. The Coulee Kids are a group of seventh grade students from Longfellow Middle School in La Crosse, Wisconsin. This is our debut album, but we have been rocking the iTunes music store with our podcasts titled The Road She Traveled and A School In The Coulee Podcast since 2005!
