Under the leadership of Sabrina Porter, the children raised a grand total of $1,900. The first place winner went to Mollie Dunigan and her fifth grade students. Her class raised the most money and will receive the reward of a pizza party for all of their hard work. \The second place winner goes to Dorothy Harris and her sixth grade students.
