I really felt like posting this because i thought it was important, I am going to ask if you would like to donate to it but do not feel like you have to! Last year my school, Forest Ridge Elementary, raised all together 20,000 dollars. This year my P.E coach wants us to rank in the top 100 schools, that raised the most money. Some school's raised over 100,000 dollars. Our school raised more then all the Snook, San Antonio, and Dallas elementary schools. And even more.
