eighteen for eighteen
On December 14th we will be having an 18 for 18 famine to raise money for kids in Honduras and Sierra Leone so they can go to school. This is a great opportunity to show love and care for others. You will be hearing a lot more about this next week in chapel. In the meantime we are looking for one student from each class to be part of a mini committee. This is a chance for you to show leadership and be part of planning this great event. It might be making posters, sharing ideas, being the spokesperson or money collector for your class. We will have one or two meetings during a lunch recess and helping support this event.
