Students wanted to do something to acknowledge the anniversary of the start of the war in Ukraine. With this in mind, our Student Council organized a bake sale with all procedes being donated to a local Ukranian center. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this with food or by supporting the sale. You raised $500.00 to support local relief efforts. Thank you!
