Community Partnership Charter Middle School
This is the first year that Community Partnership Charter Middle School is participating in Kids Connect. The group of dedicated 7th graders have decided to support the "Crocheting for Community" project in El Salvador. They held their first fundraiser in November, where they sold Salvadoran food to raise funds for the project and to raise awareness about Salvadoran culture. In addition to baking homemade treats, the students sold empanadas and pupusas, which were provided at a discounted price from a local Salvadoran restaurant close to the school. The girls raised $140 from 50 unique donors and one of the students, Noelia, donated $10 of her own money. The students recently presented at an after school talent show, where they talked about Kids Connect and explained the Crocheting for Community project. To help spread the love, the students held a Valentine's Day bake sale.
