SC Elementary Raises $20,000 for Riley’s Hospital

​South Central Elementary School, through its penny war fundraiser, raised $20,022.80 for Riley Hospital for Children!

The penny war fundraiser was sponsored by Junior Council members and was held from March 4th to the 22nd. South Central Elementary (and the Corporation) will now be designated as a "Red Wagon School/Corporation" for their fundraising efforts! Additionally, a Red Riley Wagon with a customized South Central license plate will be used at Riley Hospital as transportation for many patients.

As a reward, a school assembly was held and staff received pies in the face. Fifth grade, the winning grade level with the most donations, earned a trip to the movie theater and all grade levels earned a pizza party. Thank you to Ms. Bruner, Mrs. Perez, and our entire Junior Council!
