Mrs. Fares' Go Fund Me Campaign for the Weekend Warrior

Mrs. Fares' Go Fund Me campaign raised $1,550.00 for the Weekend Warrior, a program that helps students who are experiencing food insecurity.  Students in the program receive food over the long weekends and breaks.  The program is run by two 8th graders, Nate Smith and Eugene Williams.  Mrs. Fares presented the check to Nate Smith and Eugene Williams.  The boys volleyball team was there to cheer on the check presentation.  Thanks to all the generous donors.
