Prospect 5th Grade/World Relief Fundraiser

Prospect’s 5th graders and teachers read aloud the book, Refugee, by Alan Gratz when participating in the 2018-2019 Read Aloud. Refugee tells the stories of three different child refugees in different points in history.  The 5th graders are now trying to make a difference by teaming up with World Relief.  World Relief is a nonprofit organization that partners with local churches and community-based organizations across the United States to provide support for thousands of immigrants and refugees who are seeking a place to call home.  This was the perfect organization to partner up with in order to make a difference to families all over the country.  If you would like to help our 5th graders with their project click here.  Thanks for your support!
