Children at Crestline Elementary School in Barstow, CA were extremely eager to raise money to help feed other Barstow kids who may be hungry otherwise. A few weeks ago, elementary students participated in a dance-a-thon in return for pledges and donations totaling $780.
The school is raising money for United Way, an organization that strives to help children and youth achieve their potential, promote financial stability and independence, and improve peoples' health.
This is the fifth year that Crestline's students have raised money for United Way. According to kindergarten teacher, Kristen Miller, "We were trying to think of a way for our kids to give back to the community. We were looking for something that would mean something to our kids at our school."
The school's fundraiser was inspired after two students and their family lost their home to a fire and received help through United Way.
