Introducing, Sister Schools' Track the Container Program!This exciting new project allows for students, schools, and our community to stay up-to-date on the progress of our supply drives and distributions through the yearly program cycle. For a $10 donation, you'll receive a magnet that will allow you to follow the program from beginning to end: Seattle to Uganda and back again.You've probably seen QR codes at restaurants, on signage, and other places throughout the pandemic as the world has gone paper- and contact-free. Tracy and Chanse at image8creations have built on this technology and helped us create Augmented Reality or AR Codes. Terry McGill, Sister Schools' Founder and Program Director, has a special message just for you - we like to call it "Tabletop Terry" and you'll see why in a minute.To hear more about this amazing project, simply follow the instructions below or visit arurl.co/eht10o to hear directly from Terry! ...

Peggy Lotz was not only one of our first interviews when we launched Feature Fridays in 2020, she was also one of our longest running coordinators! She helped introduce the Sister Schools program to both Blackwell and Peter Kirk Elementary Schools in 1999, continuing as the coordinator at Kirk when she moved there full-time.What I love the most about her interview is how she describes the impact she saw on local kids who participated in our supply drives. Peter Kirk has an "Eagles in Action" program that encourages students to get involved in their community through volunteer projects. In years that Sister Schools visits, they have 2-3x as many students participate in these projects. That's what Sister Schools is all about - teaching compassion, service, and social responsibility to children all over the world.You can read more from Peggy on our blog, www.sisterschools.org/interview-peggy-lotz/ ...
