Lower School Student Generosity
I am extremely proud to report that our K-6 student body raised $3,425.83 as part of their Lenten almsgiving. The proceeds will support Sharing and Caring Hands in Minneapolis. Special congratulations to our 4th grade students for taking the lead in the last week with a positive total of $434.73. 3rd Graders also had a strong showing, but lost on the last day!
