Never Too Young to Care about Others!

Through a student-led effort, fifth graders in an after-school program organized a Super Bowl pool last winter to raise money for a meaningful cause. Three local organizations were the potential recipients: one to help animals, another to protect the environment, and Cancer Support Team. When the votes were counted, CST won. The $500 donation was proudly presented by members of the class.
