McMurray students help foster kids
McMurray Elementary School student council organized a fundraiser to help area foster children.
The students raised money for Together We Rise, an organization that provides suitcases for local foster children who typically carry their belongings in garbage bags. The students collected nearly $500 and purchased 19 “Sweet Cases” and decorative supplies.
During an afterschool session, they hand-decorated each bag and filled them with kid-friendly necessities, including blankets, teddy bears, hygiene kits, crayons and coloring books.
