Newspaper Article About Brad and Churchill Students

The students at Brads school have been collecting pens, pencils, and a few other school supplies for us to take to Ethiopia. The students also had the opportunity to "Jam the Jug" with change to be donated to an Ethiopian orphanage too. One day the students could pay 50 cents to wear a hat to school. So far they have collected over 1,000 pens and pencils and are still filling the jug up with loose change. It so neat to hear students want to help and to hear their excitement for our upcoming trip. The local newspaper went to their school yesterday to interview Brad and some of the students. Here's a link to the article
