Berney plans "Coins from Caring Kids" fundraiser for Blue Mountain Red Cross
Berney students will once again be organizing a coin drive called, "Coins from Caring Kids." In the past, the money collected went to help overseas disaster relief. This year all of the money raised will stay local and be donated to the Blue Mountain Red Cross.

The American Red Cross teaches lifesaving skills such as CPR and first aid, educates the public about preventing and preparing for emergencies, supports our area service members, Veterans, and their families, connects loved ones through their global tracing services, and provides immediate aid to victims of disasters such as floods and house fires.

From Friday, March 2 through Friday, March 16, students may bring a donation of coins or bills to school. There will be donation buckets in each classroom as well as the main office.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Becky Jo Curtis, Intervention Specialist, Kristen Duede, Elementary School Counselor or Donna Painter, Principal at 509.527.3060.
