$200 Donation from Sixth Graders

A Big Thank You to Merrill Middle School 6th graders: Seth Kallestad, Kennedy Lewis, Brian Goode, Emily Boehm, and Gabby Ichelson. They were given a class project to raise money for a charity – they picked us! The raised $200 and sold 2 calendars!! They requested that $100 go toward our new Math Program and $100 go to our new Play Area. How sweet!!! Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness. p.s. They also came and cleaned our Playhouse a couple weeks ago!!!!!!!! Awesome kids! Their parents should be so proud! That’s Shea Reeves accepting on behalf of GiGi’s Des Moines.
