Chnage for Change
Monday, 15 February 2010 08:56
The fifth annual “Change for Change” was a HUGE success. This year Weddington students collected $5,099.43 over a two week period. ALL the money collected was given to support two very important charities. “Relay for Life”, which supports cancer research and “Kid’s First of the Carolinas” which is a local charity that supports children and families in need.
Our children were rewarded for their efforts with a “Celebration” on Friday February 12th. All students were entered into a raffle for prizes. The entire school also received popsicles during the Celebration drawings. The classes who met their goal of $300 had their teacher’s name entered into a drawing for a $50 gift certificate.
The winning class in each grade also received a pizza lunch. The following classes earned a pizza lunch:
| EC/PK/K | Ms. Williams | $145.05 |
| 1st Grade | Ms. Murray | $281.47 |
| 2nd Grade | Ms. Stoner | $190.49 |
| 3rd Grade | Ms. Holton | $377.65 |
| 4th Grade | Ms. Stephano | $313.39 |
| 5th Grade | Ms. Reed | $194.12 |
