In Dec. they sent holiday cards to soldiers overseas via "The Dee's Christmas Tree" donations, and this month they worked with PTA and collected donated supplies for overseas U.S. troops to be distributed by "Soldiers Angels" and raised $152 for the "National Breast Cancer Foundation" by selling hot chocolate at school during the lunch periods, the fundraiser was titled, "Cocoa For Cancer". Still to come, "Family and Friends Movie Time" and snack sales at the upcoming school presentation of "Bye-Bye Birdie."
