Wristband sales raise money for local charity
Teacher Carla Thompson's Advisory is continuing to support Kids Hope United (formerly Central Baptist Children's Home).
Her students are selling blue "Hope Bands" to raise money to help buy necessities and toys for kids who come to the facility with just the clothes they are wearing.
In the fall, the students made receiving blankets and fleece throws and donated them to Kids Hope United. At that time they also decided to continue their service learning project by selling silicone bracelets.
The advisory in now selling the bands for $2, with all proceeds going to Kids Hope United. Anyone interested in supporting this charity can see any student in Mrs. Thompson's Advisory or at lunch in the cafeteria.
