Congratulations go to Mrs. Brake's classroom. Her students earn a pizza party for their work collecting "Coins for a Cause."
Fulton Elementary worked to raise funds for Gratiot Count Hope House, through a matching funds grant with United Way. The elementary school raised $750.87 in all grade levels, which in turn lead to over $1500 being donated to Gratiot County Hope House.
Mrs. Brake's classroom raided $423.95 of those funds to lead the way. Congratulations to them, and to everyone for giving to this great cause. Keep up the great work.
