FCCLA is doing a statewide March of Dimes fundraiser.
March of Dimes is an American health charity whose mission is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality. It was founded by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1938 as the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis to defeat the epidemic disease poliomyelitis, commonly known as polio, which Roosevelt had contracted at the age of 39.
March of Dimes is a community service project. The FCCLA fundraiser at our school has already started. Ms. Crawshaw said, "Danielle Morris was selling bracelets at the football game last Friday night, we will be putting cans in all the grade school classes, and the classes that raises the most will get a cookie and kool-aid party." So when you see one of the yellow buckets like Kaylee is holding in the picture above, give a little to help a worthy cause.
