eHoweller for Monday October 27, 2014
Monday's speaker will be Cayden Taipalus. Cayden Taipalus was a third grader at Challenger Elementary in Howell last year when he witnessed a child get denied a hot lunch because of no money on his lunch account. The child instead was offered a cheese sandwich. He came home and wanted to know how he could help kids out. He and his mom came up with Pay It Forward: No Kid Goes Hungry. Cayden called family, friends, neighbors and even took back cans to raise money to pay off low income kids delinquent lunch accounts at school. He not only paid off the accounts but added money to them so the child had no future worries about lunches. The donation response has been wonderful so Cayden is continuing on to other elementary schools to help out more kids.
He has been featured on the Disney channel and Woman’s day magazine. He has also been honored for his efforts by the Elmer’s foundation and received gifts.
