Caring and Baking…

On Wednesday, January 16, my class had a bake sale to raise money for Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticuit. As you may know, Sandy Hook is a school that has lost many teachers and students in a shooting tragedy. So my best friend Taylor, thought having a bake sale would be a nice way to raise money for the kids and teachers at Sandy Hook. They could put it towards something like a movie or an entertainer, or just something to lift their spirits. So on Jan. 16 everyone in the class brought some baking. Everything was one dollar. On the first day, we raised 500 dollars. On the second day, just me and my BFFS, Sophia, Taylor, Zara (see post "Feliz Cumplianos, Nailah!") sold all the left over baking. Then, a big suprise! A reporter from The Richmond Review, Martin Van Den Hemel, came! We were so excited! If you haven't seen the review, make sure to check it out! In the end, we raised $726.70!! We really hope this will help teachers and students through this tough tragedy. Incase your wondering, I made Blue Hawaii Coconut Cupcakes for the bake sale. I'll include that recipe in another blog post ;) So, don't forget to check out The Review this week!
