The Lucknow Sentinel, 2015-07-22, Page 7Valerie Gillies/Lucknow Sentinel Nobody Brookside Public School Grade 2 teacher April Schumacker is proud of her students who have completed the Nobody Project in the 2014/15 school year. She has been offering this program for several years. Shucmacker explains, "The Nobody Project is a great character builder. Every year it amazes me to see the ideas from the children and their families. It reminds the students that one little thing can make a difference." As each child finished their project, they recorded their activities in the Nobody scrapbook and added a memento to the Nobody doll as he built character through the individual projects. Nobody has now become a Somebody. The last of the projects follow. More information about the Nobody Project, which revolves around an ageless, genderless doll, can be found at www. whoisnobody.com. June 19, 2015. Kristen McClinchey Kristen McClinchey helped the Goderich SPCA for her Nobody Project. She raised funds by collecting beer cans and beer bottles, then taking them to the store for refund. She asked her family to help with collecting and together they raised $101.90. When McClinchey delivered the money to the SPCA she got to meet some of the cats. Her favourite can was Bobby, a grey and black striped cat like McClinchey's former cat, Bruiser, who was 19 years old. Her next favourite was Molly, a very furry, playful cat. McClinchey saw one cat that had one grey and one blue eye. As McClinchey no longer has any more pets, she took her dog and cat stuff to the SPCA as a donation, as well. An extra benefit of this project was helping the environment by recycling, which is something that the family does at home all the time. Wednesday, July 22, 2015 • Lucknow Sentinel 7 Cameron Kerr Cameron Kerr's Nobody Project was to donate food to St. Vincent de Paul. It was the first idea that he had as how he would like to help people. Kerr saw signs in grocery stores asking for donations and he decided to use his own money to purchase food. With the help of his mother, Kerr picked out cereal, chicken noodle soup and pasta as the main foods. The people at St. Vincent de Paul were happy when Kerr delivered the foods to donate. Quinlyn Stanley Quinlyn Stanley had help from her mother to create a Friendship Tree in her classroom for her Nobody Project. As people did good things, they were given colourful leaves with their names on them to put on the Friendship Tree. Stanley explains on her scrapbook page, "A friendship tree means that you will look out for each other no matter what your difference!" Stanley's mother brought the game "Spinclusion — Include Everyone" to the classroom from Community Living Wingham and District. She took photos of class members who also received a certificate for playing. The book "Differences" was read which showed that people can have trouble doing things like eating, walking and talking. Stanley likes helping at Community Living. "I help people who are living with troubles." A Community Living bracelet was added to Nobody.

Her mom helped with a yard sale in Dungannon. Together they raised around $80, which was mailed to Children's Hospital for a program that helps children learn that they can trust hospitals so they can get better when they are really sick. One of the items on Toll's page contains the logo, "let's help hospitals all around the world". Sydney Coulobe Sydney Coulobe made special lollipops to sell at Brookside Public School to help a school in Nunavut in the Arctic. Coulobe was helped by her mom to make the lollipops. For each lollipop they lined up three Jolly Rancher candies on a tray. The trays were put in the oven to make them flat and soft enough to twist in the sticks quickly. They took about three minutes to cool down. The project was called "Lollipops for Lunches". It is very expensive for school children to have breakfast, lunch and dinner. A lunch program was launched at the school in Nunavut. Coulobe was able to raise $398 to donate to the lunch program. She would like to thank the Bulldogs for their help. Coulobe added an inukshuk to Nobody. �1 11 M1 �' 'iR Your Own °it••r. Alm and Fri Wing f[g!rrsc.veadr ) f,"L iu lr'rn I 11:Ii'ADEfIICH.5!.1.21?' AW Ashley Brunet Ashley Brunet's family helped with her Nobody Project of cleaning up around their yard and in the river in the woods where the tractors go through. They put up "Don't Litter" signs at their yard and cleaned up garbage. Brunet stated, "We need to keep the water clean or we won't have drinking water or healthy animals or fruits and veggies." For the first time the Brunet family grew their own fruits and vegetables. Brunet got to harvest, then everything had to be washed as it was growing in dirt. Those who helped Ashley Brunet were her parents, Chris and Angie, as well as her brothers and sisters Hanna, Chase, Logan, James and Aurora.
