The school also set a goal of raising $100 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, but through the generous donations of students, staff and parents, the school surpassed its goal by raising $750. The school also collected more than 100 pounds of food items to benefit the East Fort Bend Human Needs Ministry. The event was coordinated by Reginald Taylor, math specialist.
