The grade 6/7 class at Upper Pine planned and organized a Christmas Craft and Bake Sale to raise money for those in need overseas. Students, staff, and parents throughout the school contributed items and made donations to make this a huge success! Altogether, they were able to raise over $900. This will provide clean water for seven families and furnish one whole classroom! A great example of our students being best for the world! Merry Christmas!
