Dress Sale Success!
We are proud to announce the success of the dress sale, but first, we would like to thank all of you for supporting us, whether you bought/donated a dress, volunteered in the actual event or came to see what we accomplished. Can you believe we sold over 100 dresses? Well, that brings us to how much money we made. We made $2,500 in total! We are so proud that our year-long project did this well. There was a lot of time and effort put into this, so we are glad our work earned a lot of money for the Red Cross and provided community members with affordable dresses for special occasions.

The dorm students enjoyed an outing to PRG Malvern Climbing Gym last Wednesday evening. Josh O. was trying to reach a certain point on the rock wall and did not give up until he succeeded! Ms. Lew awarded Josh with a Spirit of the Hawk for Persistence.
