During Christmas, the staff wanted to teach our children to spread kindness and give to others in our community. Students were encouraged to donate their spare change for two weeks. All funds raised would go towards purchasing Christmas Food Baskets for those in need in our community. The grade level with the most money collected would win a class party.
Mr. McNeil's 5th-grade class raised the most money, $505.16. The school raised $1393.36. We are very proud of our student's efforts, including purchasing 20 food baskets, ham, and all the fixings.
Thank you, Cainhoy staff, parents, and students!
