PORT ANGELES — Roosevelt Middle School seventh-grade teachers and students will hold a spaghetti feed fundraiser to assist hurricane relief efforts from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Oct. 6.
The feed will take place inside the school’s gym at 106 Monroe Road.
Proceeds will go to the American Red Cross.
Tickets will be $5 per person or $20 per family. They can be purchased in advance or at the door.
For more information, call Roosevelt Middle School at 360-452-8973.
The first grade class at Olympic Christian School in Port Angeles raised more than $100 to be donated to Hurricane Katrina relief efforts in just one week.
A student in the class asked if the classmates could collect pennies for homeless children, referring to stories she had heard about hurricane evacuees.
The plan was approved and the first-graders went to work.
“As part of their homework,” said Kathy Tucker, first grade teacher, “the students were asked to do a few chores to earn some money.
“Participation was optional but the results were amazing. This class of 17 students earned over $103, mostly in change.
“Some funds came from doing chores and some came straight from their piggy banks.”
The first-graders enjoyed a popcorn party Friday as a thank you from their teacher.
