Thank you Holley Elementary Third Grade Students

The Arc of Orleans County would like to thank the Holley Elementary third grade class for their hard work in raising money for Camp Rainbow.  The students raised $1,230.45 this year by participating in a Spell-A-Thon.  This is the third year that the students have held the activity, and each year their numbers have increased. 

The top student was Kayleigh Neale, who raised $230.  Mrs. Sevenski's class was the top class for the second year in a row, raising $541.15 and they were treated to a pizza party.  The entire third grade enjoyed a field trip to Camp Rainbow to see where they money they raised would be helping.  While there they enjoyed activites including music, story time, arts & crafts, and games on the basketball court.

The Arc is thankful to all the third grade students and teachers for all they have done to assist Camp Rainbow.

Albion 2nd Grade Teachers with Executive Director Kellie Spychalski

 The second graders at Albion Elementary School have been hard at work this year, not only doing their school work but also helping The Arc of Orleans County's Camp Rainbow.  The students took part in a week long spelling test after asking their family and friends for pledges to benefit the Camp.  Their efforts helped raise $7,248.50 to help with the upkeep of the grounds and pool, and purchase items needed at Camp this summer. 

Emily Harling was the top student, raising $1,097.00, what is believed to be a record amount raised.  The top class was Mrs. Beach's class with $$1,700; the class received a pizza party for their efforts.  The entire second grade, along with teachers, and chaparones enjoyed a day at Camp Rainbow and traveled from station to station doing arts and crafts, story time, games, and music. 

The Arc of Orleans County would like to thank the Albion Elementary second graders and their teachers for all their hard work raising money and also for the gifts they donated to Camp Rainbow.
