Sixth graders in the Youth Empowerment Seminar hosted a snack sale this week to raise money to send assistance to people in the Ukraine. The initiative was started by Nora Paxson, Daphna Soskis, Genesis Fuentes-Ramirez, June Walsh, Cleo Van Wye, and Iris Vergow with help from Ms. Crespo, who is the coordinator of student intervention. Students baked and purchased snacks for sale afterschool to their teachers and peers with the goals of making $400. Several teachers assisted with generous cash donations. The proceeds went to Globalgiving’s Ukraine Crisis relief fund. Parents can also donate through the website and selecting “Other Payments,” “Student last name, first name” or “Staff last name, first name,” and typing “Ukraine,” into the “paying for” field.
