IMS Students Raise Money to Support Students in Africa
Irvington Middle School students raised $705 to benefit the Senegal School Fund, established through the Fund for African Relief and Education. The students engaged in a variety of fundraising activities during their school’s annual Mardi Gras celebration in April.
“Our students were committed to raising money again this year for this wonderful initiative to support schools in Senegal, and I am so proud of them,” French teacher and French Club adviser Deanna Tessler said.
Throughout the celebration, the students answered a culture question of the day, raffled prizes and sponsored a pajama day and a croissant breakfast. Through Irvington’s donation, the Fund for African Relief and Education will support three middle school girls to continue their education at their Senegal school.
