At the beginning of May, our Student Council kids decided to use some of their fundraiser money to donate $500 to St Mary Foundation. Susana Vasquez from St Mary Medical Center came by today to pick up the check. Their money will be used to help women and children at their hospital. Great job, Cougars!

Our Student Council was able to meet the mayor this morning to take a picture for their $500 Animal Shelter donation. These awesome leaders chose to donate their proceeds from winter and valentine grams and the family dance to some awesome organizations. Way to go Cougars!
