Madame Maillet's class battles for first place in support of Juvenile Diabetes! Congratulations to 6FIM for winning the EWG Battle of the Classes. $317 was raised in total with $100.70 coming from 6FIM. The winners received their prize on Wednesday, thank you to Mrs.Thompson for helping out. Originally we had organized the event in support of building a well in India, however the students surpassed that goal a week ago and one of our event organizers asked if we could support Juvenile Diabetes. It was a close race with 6FIR coming in a close second.
