According to Rowan, the students held a bake sale, with proceeds going to the Red Cross.
“The students made $454.60 and for every dollar donated to the Red Cross before October 15th, Aviva (Insurance) will give $5. So, that translates to $2273!” x enthused. “They are a wonderful group of individuals; what great, caring young people we have in the Valley.”
