Did you know that students in Guatemala have to pay for their education beyond 6th grade? Did you know that you can play a part in helping send two Guatemalan students, Alex and Alejandra, to school for a year? A donation of $7 will give you a cool new "Yuda Band" bracelet - which are available in many different styles - and two Guatemalan students the chance to continue their education! Our goal is to sell 350 bracelets so that we can fully fund a year of education for our two chosen Guatemalan students. Please help us out with this important cause! Stop and see National Honor Society members outside of the cafeteria during all lunches through Friday, April 24th.
