Share The Love Fundraiser
As many of you know, every February Molalla High School and the community of Molalla host an outreach fundraiser called Share the Love. The committee selects families who live in Molalla who have fell upon difficult times and are in need of extra financial support. MRA feels it is important to invest in our community and we participate by collecting change. Every classroom had a change container for donations and worked as a school to collect as much as they could for the cause. The class who raised the most money each week won a "free dress" day for themselves the following Monday. Good job MRA - you collected a total of $375.37 as a school for this important cause!
ASSEMBLIES
This Tuesday we will have author Michelle Nelson-Schmidt coming to visit for an assembly. Meeting the published author and hearing her speak will be fun for the students.
