June 5 – SC Challenge and Reward
MAY 27 2019 2:02 PM
Schnecksville Elementary School is getting ready to “graduate” the 5th graders who are heading to middle school in the fall. Before they move on, the 5th graders did a “challenge” and raise money for a good cause. This year they chose to help out Gress Mountain Ranch in Orefield. If their goal was met, Gress agreed to bring some of the animals to school so the 5th graders could meet the animals they are helping. They wanted to raise $400 and they crushed the goal!! The animals will be visiting the school on June 5th at 2:30 PM.
