Crockett Elementary shines with kindness

Crockett Elementary School is finishing a kindness-focused fundraising campaign called Raise Craze this week. During the fundraiser, students show their appreciation to donors by completing Acts of Kindness for others. At the end of the 18-day campaign, the students hope to raise $20,000.

“As of this morning,” Crockett Elementary Principal Analeasa Holmes said on Friday, “We’ve raised $11,554.”

In addition to raising money that will go toward grade-level field trips, teacher grants funding to help offset classroom costs and student incentives to recognize achievement, goals and graduation, the fundraiser encourages students to think of ways to help others.
