St. Judes Fundraiser
Mill Creek has done a great job raising money for St. Jude Children's Hospital! I am going to give you all the details I can about this wonderful fundraiser. The St. Jude's Fundraiser is a fundraiser for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The St. Jude's Fundraiser started occurring at Mill Creek in 2009 when the school opened. We did a lot of activities to raise money like: collecting coins, having gameday, voting for cutest pet and silliest selfie, voting for the yearbook cover, having a zumbathon, and the teachers could pay $5 to wear jeans for the week. Let's congratulate all of the winners. For the silliest selfie contest, 1st place was Toby Anderson. For the cutest pet contest there was Garrison Gray and his dog Chase, and our yearbook cover is going to be made by Brianna Goodloe. So far we have raised $95 from the silliest selfie, $325 from the cutest pet, and $1,116 in coins. In total we have $3,159.59 and that is not for sure because they're still getting checks. Mill Creek did a fabulous job fundraising, and we will try to raise more money next year!:)
