This effort has done a good job in bringing awareness to ALS, and has raised a lot of money for this great cause. Although we won’t be participating in the Ice bucket aspect of this effort, we encourage your contribution to this cause and to assist in this effort a donation jar for your coins will be placed in the school lobby during the month of September. Other charities will be designated during other month throughout the year. All this fits in with our theme this year. “By love- serve one another.”
