Cloverly students collected over 1,031 food and household items for Ronald McDonald House from April 12 to April 16. Fourth grade students donated
230 items; sixth graders, 338 items, and fifth graders won the class competition by collecting 463 items. Students eagerly watched the tally board to see which grade level had collected the most items because the grade level with the most items would win a party. Students received a special purple “brag tag” for each donated item. A representative from Ronald McDonald House will attend Cloverly’s Spirit Rally on
April 28 to acknowledge the donations and also draw one student’s name from each classroom to enjoy a special lunch with the Principal.
The Cloverly community contributed generously to this event as they have for other charity drives this year, including Haiti Relief and Holiday Charity Drive.
The Ronald McDonald event is sponsored by Cloverly Elementary School and the Temple City Kiwanis Club. Denise Galvan, fourth grade teacher, Marilyn Nassif, fifth grade teacher, and Rich Wenzel, retired teacher and Kiwanis representative, worked tirelessly to promote the event and to deliver the goods to Ronald McDonald House. Ms. Galvan and Mrs. Nassif worked with students to design collection boxes and to collect and count items from each classroom daily.
