The 8 most important things for your classes to learn from the 1000CLASSROOMS project
8.  Gorillas are gentle herbivores, not vicious killers or threats to people.
7.  We MUST get involved in protecting the environment, especially rainforests.
6.  All species on the planet are intertwined and gorillas are essential to their ecosystem.
5.  Without action, most species of gorillas could be extinct in our lifetime
4.  Education of kids all over the world is essential for saving the planet.
3.  Co operation is the key to helping people in under-privileged situations.  We need to find ways to help people help themselves.
2.  Even small contributions are very important.                               
1. KIDS CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE!

How to get involved
It is easy to get involved.  Tell your students about the program or show them the 1000CLASSROOMS.org website.  Try to collect $3 from your class.  Money can be sent directly to

Please include the name and city of your school along with the teacher's name and grade of your class and we will post the information on our Honour Roll.
  Please consider becoming a ‘school representative” and collecting money for all participating classrooms in your school then sending the contributions together.  If you are in the Thames Valley District School Board, cheques can be sent for central collection through board mail or regular mail to

NEW THIS YEAR: For any classroom in the Thames Valley District School Board or Middlesex Catholic School Board, I will come to pick up any donations right at your school. Just email apeaware@gmail.com if you have a contribution!

All cheques should be made out to “The Canadian Ape Alliance”.  If you are at another school board we would love to have more “school board” representatives to tell teachers about.
