Sonoma, Calif. – Students in
the Leadership Class of Altimi-
ra Middle School in Sonoma
have joined their local Rotary
Club to help rid the world of
polio.
“Polio is a disease that cripples
people. Some people die from
it,” said Erin, a 7th grader.
The students organize Purple
Pinky Days at their own school
and at the five elementary
schools in their district.
Last spring, the students raised
about $3,500 in small, one
dollar donations during Purple
Pinky Days. The Bill and
Melinda Gates Foundation
donates $2 for every dollar
raised – so their $3,500 grew
into a $10,500 donation.
Purple Pinky Days raise more
than money – they also raise
awareness about polio and how
the disease can be eliminated

Some kids like to get more

pay $1.00 for each finger
they want dipped into dye. “Some kids even
dye their toes!” Jack added.

Pinky Days organizer, Nadia, tells other kids:

Rotary is a global network of volunteers.
Find out if you have a Rotary Club in your
community. Ask if they will send someone
to speak to your class about their efforts
to end polio. www.rotary.org
Instead of counting
on your fingers,
look through the
newspaper and count
the number of fingers
you can find. Which
finger is shown the
most? Pinky?
Pointer? Middle?
Ring? Thumb?
