Three fifth graders, including Audrey and Uche from the Franklin, held a bake sale and yard sale with the proceeds supporting
Reece's Rainbow, an organization that helps find families for children with Down syndrome. Two of the girls were motivated to support Reece's Rainbow for personal reasons - they each have a cousin with Down syndrome. The third girl has volunteered to help support classmates with Down Syndrome for the past two years.
At the time of the story, the girls had raised $140 to be donated directly to the Christmas drive at Reece's Rainbow. Great job Audrey and Uche! We are so proud to have you in our Franklin community!
