Edison students participating in fundraiser to help children in orphanages

Edison students participating in fundraiser to help children in orphanages
Edison students raised funds to provide 1,215 meals for children in orphanages around the world during the past month. Students Mia and Lynn Piefer worked during the month of February to involve Edison students in a Rice Bowl fund-raiser.

The girls planned, organized, and encouraged participation by Edison students and staff. Rice Bowl piggy banks were distributed in all classrooms and students were encouraged to, "Make Some Change" by bringing in their coin money to place in the rice bowls. Rice Bowls is a non-profit organization that distributes funds to orphanages around the world.

The highlight was the breaking of the Rice Bowl piggy banks to collect the change for counting. A meal can be provided to the children in orphanages for every 25 cents raised. The students and staff at Edison donated more than $300. Mia and Lynn with the help of the Edison students did "Make Some Change."
