0113 MBE Holiday Project
Brian Wallace of Salvation Army Public Relations joins MBE PTO Chairman Kim Kohler and Mickey Ferguson of Fox 6 News, and students Annie LaRussa, Grace Kohler, Andrew Kohler, Bennett Strohm and Christian Glenos during the Holiday Project at MBE.
The annual Mountain Brook Elementary Holiday Project recently partnered with the Salvation Army to adopt 30 area foster children this holiday season. In all, the project raised more than $10,500.
Students held lemonade stands, bake sales and car washes to contribute to the bottom line. Chairmen Kim Kohler and Mary Carson LaRussa oversaw the project, which made wishes come true children ranging in age from 8 months through 12 years old. Each homeroom adopted a child and shopped for wish list items provided by the Salvation Army. Gifts were displayed during a visit from Fox 6 News’ Mickey Ferguson.
The fifth grade raised the most funds and won a pizza party for the grade.
