Each year, Mrs. Fry’s class at Elm Hill School raises money for charity. Funds are raised with bonus points - each worth a penny - earned with scholarship and good behavior. The class also has an annual raffle offering a hand-made afghan and other prizes. Since 2005, the class has raised over $2000 to donate to charities like The American Red Cross, T.A.R.P.S., Garden of Angels and The CJ Foundation for SIDS. Each of the students in class researches a charity and writes a persuasive piece that is presented to the class on Town Meeting Day. The class conducts a “Town Meeting” and votes to determine which charity will receive the funds raised that year. This year, the class will be researching charities and needs close to home. Maybe you can help us decide where to donate our funds. Please email or send a note
letting us know where you think our funds should be donated this year.

Here she is with purple hair. She agreed to dye it purple if the Elm Hill families
donated 15 boxes worth of food for the Springfield Food Shelf.
With the help of their neighbors over at Stantec they donated 17 boxes!
